About

The story

The Women's Museum of California (WMC) was a nonprofit museum in Balboa Park in San Diego, California, dedicated to women's history. It was founded in 1983. It was first organized under the names the Women's History Reclamation Project and then the Women's History Museum and Educational Center. In addition to exhibits and programs offered, the WMC also co-founded and hosts the San Diego County Women's Hall of Fame; it was located at Liberty Station and had exhibit space, archives, a library, and a store that features items made exclusively by women.
