World War II Women's Memorial Location Act
United States119th CongressS-1088Senate
Updated: Dec 9, 2025
Summary
This legislation, known as the "World War II Women's Memorial Location Act," aims to facilitate the placement of a significant commemorative work on the National Mall. The memorial is intended to honor the immense sacrifice and service of the more than 18,000,000 women who worked on the home front during World War II, serving in vital roles such as pilots, engineers, and mechanics. The bill specifically overrides a provision in title 40, United States Code, which typically restricts new commemorative works in certain areas. By doing so, it allows the authorized memorial to be located within Area I or the Reserve , both integral parts of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. This measure seeks to provide a prominent and respectful location for recognizing the enduring legacy of these women's contributions to the war effort.
