Gallery honors modern women
Whether they are women who refused to give up their seat on a bus one stormy afternoon in Alabama and sparked a civil rights revolution, such as Rosa Parks, or women that created a standard of etiquette, such as Emily Post, many women stand as pieces of the great puzzle of 20th century America in the National Portrait Gallery's "Women of Our Time" exhibit. The exhibition is a compilation of over 50 twentieth-century photographs of women who have contributed to the history of the United States.
