US Army Women's Museum

Great visualization of women's contribution to the Army

I lived close to this museum for more than a decade and only now I went in What a great modern exhibit that follows in chronological order the contribution that women did from the revolutionary war to today. What i really appreciated was that at every chapter in history there was a section that explained how society reacted and what policy and legislative changes occured. I also liked that this wasn't solely a celebration of the group endeavors but different soldiers where highlighted. Afterwards, i drove to downtown Petersburg to purchase a donut in honor of the donut lassies lol.

My friend and I visited the museum last August. It was very impressive and really struck a chord with me since I was a WAC stationed at Ft. McClellan in 1977-1978.

I really enjoyed visiting the website. The information was very well presented. I would love to go there again, having been a WAC in 1973 at Fort McClellan, AL. It has been many years since I was at Fort Lee, and visited the museum while I was there for the Advanced course in 1986.
