COMING IN OCTOBER 2009 - WOMEN AND MONEY
In October 2009, the International Museum of Women will launch a new exhibition on the theme of women and money (title tbd). The exhibition will address issues encompassing two prominent cross-currents affecting women around the world today. On the one hand, women are the majority of the world's poor and exploited. On the other hand, women form an increasing percentage of the world's entrepreneurs, business leaders, shoppers and philanthropists. The exhibition will illuminate the range of ways that women interact with money -- as earners, consumers, caretakers and decision makers in households, board rooms, halls of government and international financial institutions.
For a sneak preview of the type of thought-provoking conversations the exhibition will present, listen to I.M.O.W.'s podcast with longtime economic justice advocate Meizhu Lui, who explains how the global economic crisis is impacting women in the United States - and what women are doing about it.

Imagining Ourselves
This award-winning exhibition of the International Museum of Women connected young women around the world and inspired them to create positive change in their own lives, their communities, or globally.
Between March 8, 2006 and December 31, 2007, more than a million people participated in Imagining Ourselves. The project included a published anthology, a series of global events, and this dynamic multilingual online exhibition of user-contributed film, photography, music, poetry and personal essays--all in response to the question, "What defines your generation of women?"
