The Maryland Women's Heritage Center (MWHC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan organization, will provide a place to learn and teach about the contributions of Maryland women throughout our state's history. The Center is envisioned as a museum, learning and resource center, archives, showcase for Maryland women in the arts, and a place for gathering to discuss and act on issues impacting on women.
