Learn MoreThe museum is brimming with artwork by and about women who thrived as professionals and influencers despite social norms that denounced such public, “unfeminine” behavior. Discover a diverse cast of fierce women who refused to let men define their place; thumbed their noses at the limited roles society accorded them; and blazed a trail as artists, activists, and innovators—proving that fierce gets the job done.
This unconventional, edgy, and fast-paced tour is fun, fearless, and free. Part of our monthly free Community Day.
