This exhibit aims to cover different aspects of women’s history to examine various issues women have gone through, focusing on the United States in the first half of the 20th century. It will highlight the significant roles that women have played in United States history, despite often being overlooked or dismissed.

"Women's Reproductive Health" will cover women’s reproductive history in the United States, and how access to abortions and other birth control has changed, along with the attitudes surrounding them.

"The Code Girls of World War II" will cover the women referred to as "Code Girls," who worked for the United States government to break German and Japanese codes during World War II. This will also, more generally, highlight the role that women played during the war.
