The Women's Progress Commemorative Commission is a U.S. bipartisan commission established pursuant to the Women's Progress Commemoration Act (Public Law 105–341, 1998-10-31) under President Bill Clinton.[1] The bill was introduced by Congresswoman Louise Slaughter and Senator Chris Dodd. The commission was tasked with identifying and preserving sites significant to American women's history.[2] It was established in honor of the 150 year anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention.[3] The commission's first meeting was held 2000-07-12 in Seneca Falls, New York to develop a scope. Subsequent meetings, some sponsored by the National Park Service, included discussions regarding assistance from United States governors as well as problems with data collection.[2]
