Title

Women Writing History: A Coronavirus Journaling Project

Description

Created to capture gendered experiences of the pandemic, this initiative solicits digital files of written, recorded, or artistic journals created in increments from women and gender non-binary individuals. Seeking contributions from those of any age and from all backgrounds, cultures, and socio-economic circumstances. Demographic data (age, location, occupation) is collected upon submission. In addition to collecting this material for future research, the museum's partnership with The New York Times creates the possibility that these materials will be used in contemporary publications.
