The Women Who Worked on the Home Front WWII Memorial Act authorizes the Women Who Worked on the Home Front Foundation to build a commemorative work on federal land in Washington, DC to honor the women, without whom, we could not have sustained the war effort. In addition, they paved the way for generations of women in the workforce.
Our Mission
Among the primary goals of the National Memorial to the Women Who Worked on the Homefront Foundation is to increase awareness of the vital roles these dedicated women played to support our country during trying times.
All funding for this commemorative work must be raised using private donations to the foundation; no government funds may be used (Commemorative Works Act.)
“We want to build awareness of the contributions women on the home front made in support of the war efforts during WWII by creating a memorial in our nation’s capital to honor them. ”
