Canada is a democracy whose citizens share expansive rights and freedoms. Despite this, the dominant narrative of Canada’s evolution largely overlooks women’s contributions.  

History is a living document we are writing every day. It is the role of the Canadian Museum of Women's History (CMWH) to add accuracy to our national story.  

CMWH will fulfill this role by amplifying the little-known and untold contributions made by pre-colonial women and those who identify as women or non-binary, to the lands now known as Canada.

The victories of the women's movement are a blueprint for future generations to solve ever-evolving social injustices. This soon-to-be Canadian institution will tell these stories and teach us how we can continue to make our world a better place.

Creation of a national museum dedicated to women’s history is democracy in action.
