The significance was not lost on Schulze: "My first vote? Oh yes, I thought long over that. I studied; I read about all your men who wish to be president. I think we should not vote blindly, since we have been given this right. I think, too, that we women are more careful than the men. We want to do our whole duty more. I do not think it is just the newness that makes use like that. It is conscience."
But before she even cast a ballot, Schulze had already made history in 1910 as the first Chinese American woman to be employed by the U.S. government. Schulze worked as an interpreter at the Angel Island Immigration Station, a detention center designed to control the flow of Asian immigrants into the U.S. under the Chinese Exclusion Act. Schulze offered translation assistance and emotional support to the women who were detained indefinitely.
While Schulze is perhaps best known today for her history-making accomplishments, her true legacy is "one of determined belief in human worth, in a kinship that transcends artificial borders, in the steady, dedicated assault on prejudice and bigotry," according to author Robin Kadison Berson.
When she was just 12-years-old, Schulze fled an arranged marriage and found refuge in the Presbyterian Mission Home in San Francisco's Chinatown. Over the course of 9 years, she aided and translated for other Chinese women fleeing sex-trafficking, and provided crucial communication assistance in the courts and police proceedings, becoming known and respected by both.
Schulze worked for the Immigration and Naturalization Service as a translator again in 1946 after the War Brides Act of 1945 created a temporary surge in the immigration of Chinese women. Over the following decades, she continued working as a translator for the Chinese community in San Francisco until her death in 1972. She once wrote: “During my life I do interpreting for Chinese people who needed my help...we are all human.”
At the NWHM, we honor the full scope of Earhart’s life: designer, educator, organizer, social worker, advocate, *and* aviator. Her life offers a record of decisions—creative, practical, and brave—that expanded what seemed possible for women.
Earhart’s disappearance in 1937 may be one of history’s most-discussed mysteries, but her life was lived far beyond the horizon, and her influence is visible in everyday life. It appears in the way women shop for clothing, choosing separates that fit their bodies and their routines. It appears in the presence of women in engineering classrooms and aviation careers, supported by networks and role models. It appears in ongoing conversations about equality, ambition, and the right to chart one’s own course.

During World War II, the U.S. government forcibly removed Kochiyama and her family to an incarceration site in Jerome, AR, where they were confined for most of the war. In her diary, Kochiyama maintained a positive outlook, but also described the anger of other incarcerees and her exposure to racism.
In 1944, Kochiyama volunteered to work at an all-Japanese, segregated United Service Organizations (USO) Center in Hattiesburg, MS, so that she could get out of the incarceration site in Jerome. There she met her husband, Bill, who was also incarcerated as a Japanese American.
The couple would eventually move to Harlem, New York, which exposed them to the Black and Puerto Rican communities’ struggles for freedom and sparked Kochiyama’s interest in civil rights activism. Kochiyama's apartment in Harlem became a crossroads for activists, artists, and intellectuals.
After meeting Malcolm X in 1963, she embraced his viewpoint of "human rights" rather than civil rights and developed an internationalist and anti-imperialist view, linking the freedom struggles of Black people in America with the experiences of people of African and Asian descent all over the world. She also advocated for Puerto Rican self-determination and joined the Asian American Movement during this time.
Kochiyama continued her grassroots activism throughout her life. In the 1990s, she formed prisoner support groups for Asian American prisoners, and eventually moved to Oakland to work more closely with West Coast activists. In recent years, her renown has increased in the wake of anti-Asian violence during the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter Movement.

The timing of the NWSA’s founding was no accident. The United States was in the middle of Reconstruction. The 15th Amendment, which prohibited denying the vote based on race, was being debated across the country. Activists like Frederick Douglass and Lucy Stone supported the 15th Amendment, because they thought it would be impossible to get the vote for both Black men and white women at the same time. But Stanton and Anthony disagreed and opposed the amendment, believing that if anyone deserved the vote, it was the educated white women first.
This disagreement split the women’s rights movement into two national organizations. The American Woman Suffrage Association supported the 15th Amendment as written. The NWSA, which opposed the 15th Amendment since it did not include gender, then refocused its energy to push for a separate constitutional amendment aimed at specifically securing women the right to vote.
Stanton and Anthony established the NWSA’s headquarters in New York City. They started a newspaper, The Revolution, as the mouthpiece of their women-led organization. The Revolution’s motto was: “Justice, not Favors.—Men, their Rights and Nothing More; Women, their Rights and Nothing Less.” Their paper covered topics including a woman’s right to suffrage, education, and divorce.
The NWSA was more radical and controversial than the competing American Woman Suffrage Association, which focused only on the vote. The NWSA wanted a constitutional amendment to secure the vote for women, but it also supported a variety of reforms that aimed to make women equal members of society.

Throughout her extraordinary career, Meryl has brought to life some of history's most iconic and complex women—from Margaret Thatcher and Julia Child, to Katharine Graham and Karen Silkwood. She has spent decades ensuring that women's stories are told with depth, nuance, and humanity.
Now, she is taking that commitment off the screen and into the future of how America learns and celebrates its history.
One of the Museum's earliest and most steadfast supporters, Meryl’s incredible generosity will help us expand how women’s stories are told through new digital content, educator programs scaling to classrooms nationwide, and a major surge in national visibility as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary. This investment helps ensure the story we tell about our nation is fuller, truer, and more complete.
“History is shaped not only by those who make it, but by those who ensure it is remembered,” said Meryl Streep. “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.”
Meryl believes women’s stories must be fully recognized, taught, and remembered. So do we.
“As one of the most influential storytellers of our time, Meryl Streep has spent her career illuminating the depth, complexity, and power of women’s lives,” said Susan D. Whiting, Chair of the Board of the National Women’s History Museum. “Her extraordinary generosity, paired with her unwavering commitment to truth, equity, and education, reflects the very mission of this Museum.”

But unlike unicorns or chupacabras, the women featured in this video are 100% real, and their world-changing accomplishments in STEM deserve a prominent place in every textbook. The sad reality is that they’re more often relegated to the footnotes where they risk being lost forever.
That’s why today we’re taking our commitment to confronting the underrepresentation of women in history one step further with the launch of the first of two bold, new videos—narrated by the hilarious Rachael Harris—spotlighting real women in STEM who built, discovered, and led, only to be erased from the story.
This isn’t solely about setting the record straight. It’s about making sure girls grow up knowing that women belong in science labs, leadership roles, and history books. Because #SheIsNotAFootnote—and neither are you.
SHARE: Awareness inspires action, and helps keep these women’s stories out of the margins. Share our videos and women’s history resources on your social media accounts to educate as many people as possible about what’s at stake and motivate them to act.
DONATE: Help ensure the NWHM can continue being a free, essential resource in a time where it’s becoming increasingly difficult to access women’s stories. Donate to our campaign at to help us continue to bring women’s history and stories to everyone.
#WomenInSTEM
Closing the gender parity gap isn’t just a matter of fairness; it's an investment in our collective future. Women’s history education equips us with the tools to build a more just, innovative, and collaborative society where gender is not a barrier but a celebrated dimension of human potential.
We are excited for all that this #WomensHistoryMonth holds, including our annual Women Making History Awards Gala and a major new initiative to take our work further that will spark conversation, shift perspectives, and drive change (to be announced soon!).
Join us in celebrating women's voices, stories, and contributions this month and all year long, and stay tuned for more exciting updates in the days ahead.
Happy Women's History Month, from all of us at the National Women's History Museum.
