The University of Southern Florida (USF) Department of Women and Gender Studies presents The Founding Mothers: Women in Herstory in partnership with the Museum of Motherhood on campus in Tampa, Florida From March 5- September 15, 2020. This exhibit celebrates 100 years of women’s vote in America and features items and artifacts from the MOM collection.
