A museum of women's history is long overdue -- and so are many others

Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed a bill to establish a National Women's History Museum. The announcement of the new museum immediately sparked praise on social media as long overdue. The most common criticism was not about the museum but was reserved for Liz Cheney as the only woman who voted against the measure. A handful of well-placed critiques rightfully raised concerns about how inclusive the new museum would be, a point that resonates with many women's historians who have long been familiar with the need for the field to more evenly address the histories of women of color and of working class women.
