@sophiabush : Today was a good day. It’s an honor and mission to support the National @womenshistory Museum organization and effort! • Did you know that according to the International Association of Women’s Museums there is no comprehensive museum anywhere in the U.S. solely dedicated to women’s history?? • According to the Architect of the Capitol, of the 100 statues in the U.S. Capitol’s National Statuary Hall Collection, only 9 are women. • On average, only 14 percent of the figures in U.S. history textbooks are women, and most of those are relegated to sidebars. (And that % may go down AHEM Texas I’m looking at you for deciding to REMOVE Hellen Keller and Hilary Clinton from your school books. Erasing the legacies of women who’ve shaped this country is wrong. TX sisters please stand up!) • Of the 5,575 outdoor sculpture portraits of historical figures in the United States, 559 portray women, a mere 10% of all statues, according to the Smithsonian American Art Museum's online inventories catalog. • Our stories deserve to be told. Fully. Complexly. And authentically. We deserve that representation. We may be 51% of the world’s population, but when we’re not represented we have no examples. If we can’t see it, we won’t know how to BE it. • It was so special to watch my pals @gabunion, @kristenanniebell, and @osopepatrisse be honored today. And the icon Kathy Bates!! It made me pinch myself that I received an award at this lunch a few years ago. What an amazing group of women to find myself among... What an honor. #sheroes #WomensHistoryMuseum ALSO @iamavoter #IAmAVoter #DontYouWannaBeAVoterToo
