Women’s Suffrage National Monument Location Act
Summary
The Women’s Suffrage National Monument Location Act authorizes the placement of a new permanent monument on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to honor the women’s suffrage movement and the passage of the 19th Amendment. While a monument was previously approved by Congress in 2020, this specific law grants the necessary exception to the Commemorative Works Act to allow its construction within the "Reserve," the high-profile area of the Mall where new memorials are typically prohibited. For citizens and visitors, this means the memorial—which celebrates the decades-long fight for women's right to vote—will be located in the central historic district alongside the nation’s most prominent landmarks.
