Changing the Face of Power: Women in the US Senate December 31, 2010

The Women's Museum presents this exhibition of photographs by Melina Mara, whom began photographing the thirteen women in the U.S. Senate in 2001, continuing as their number grew to fourteen in 2003. At a time when access to national politicians was increasingly controlled, Mara persuaded a majority of the senators to allow her to document the unprecedented role of women in the Senate.
