Exhibits

The history of women’s contributions to the Army reveals an intricate relationship between the Army, women and American society. There is a correlation, demonstrated through historical examples, that illustrates how change occurs regarding women’s roles in the Army. When the Army had an institutional need, societal norms dictated if and how women could fulfill the requirement, and women had to be willing to answer the call. These three elements, much like cogs in a wheel, can move in different directions and at alternating speeds, but all three elements must be present to affect change. This is the overarching that runs through the museum’s exhibits.
