Women’s History Month at MWM

March is Women’s History Month!

We invite you to MARCH WITH ME (MWM) as we celebrate women’s service and contributions to our nation.

March, National Women’s History Month, is here! For 31 days, the nation will be purposefully celebrating the contributions and accomplishments of women. The Military Women’s Memorial (MWM) is delighted to join the celebration and to have the opportunity to reinforce what we do every day – tell the stories of America’s military women – highlighting their contributions, accomplishments and sacrifice in service to America. The legacy of women’s service in and with the military is long and storied, covering the entire history of the nation. While sometimes disregarded, discredited and their service fraught with challenge, women persevered and continued to step up – they just wanted to serve. Those trailblazers from across the decades made it possible for women today to serve in America’s Armed Forces at every level and in every job.

At MWM for Women’s History Month 2025, we’re encouraging everyone to “March With Me” (MWM) by visiting the Military Women’s Memorial throughout the month. The theme is an obvious play on the Memorial’s abbreviation (MWM), as well as on the word “March” ― the month and the activity in which every military woman, past and present, has participated. To emphasize the theme, the gallery will be lined with historic photos of women marching – from World War I to the present. Also, to be installed soon, will be a fun exhibit with marching memorabilia we all remember including a guidon, drill sergeant hat, boots, shoe polish and the like. If you are in the area, take time to visit – it is sure to stir a bit of nostalgia. The Memorial is open Monday – Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday, 12:00 – 5:00 PM.
