Women’s history is getting a star-studded boost thanks to a seven-figure gift from actress Meryl Streep.
The award winner announced the donation to the National Women’s History Museum on Tuesday, with the goal of ensuring the continued recognition and teaching of women’s contributions.
“History is shaped not only by those who make it, but by those who ensure it is remembered,” Streep said in a statement, shared first with MS NOW. “The National Women’s History Museum has long been a catalyst for bringing forward the stories that deepen our understanding of who we are. I am proud to continue supporting this essential work so that future generations inherit a history that is both truthful and complete.”
