The International Museum of Women is excited to unveil Economica: Women and the Global Economy. Our latest exhibition explores topics from business leadership and giving to microenterprise and grassroots solutions, sparking new, timely discussions about women's experiences, contributions and challenges in this era of financial uncertainty.

Economica travels the world and asks, "What difference do women make in the world's economy?" A series of evocative audio slideshows give the answers by showing women's experiences from Morocco, China, Egypt, Bolivia, and beyond. These powerful visual stories provide entry points for examining different economic systems and values. Economica officially debuts on Saturday, October 17, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, but you can preview it now and:

  • EXPERIENCE striking stories of women in diverse economic circumstances: Learn how women's funds redefine the pie in Nepal; look at the experience of migrant workers in China; explore whether microfinance actually alleviates poverty in Bolivia; get inspired by women's empowerment Arab style in Qatar.
  • READ original essays from experts: Global Summit of Women President Irene Natividad makes the case for why investment in women is crucial to global economic recovery and CEO of Women for Women International Zainab Salbi argues that we need big picture solutions to complete an economic revolution for women.
  • DIALOGUE with leading scholars, activists and economists from around the world by contributing comments, stories, and artwork.
  • CONNECT on related themes in I.M.O.W.'s online Community.
  • TRANSFORM the way you look at the relationship between women and money in this new global online exhibition. Begin your tour of Economica: Women and the Global Economy now!
