- A proposed Smithsonian museum dedicated to America’s women will feature transwomen, the museum’s interim director promised.

- Though Congress has not approved the project and no site has been chosen for the museum, the Smithsonian announced on Feb. 27 that it had received $55 million in donations to make the new museum a reality, the Times reported.
