Girl Museum Plagiarism Policy
Girl Museum upholds the highest standards as a professional museum. We make every effort to cite direct quotes, typically through in-text links to the source material or a citations/resources list at the end of each exhibit or blog post. However, we also discuss topics that may be considered common knowledge, such as biographies. We do not typically cite common knowledge material because it is widely known, undisputed and easily verified, and it generally cannot be attributed to a specific person or paper.
Girl Museum Advertising and Guest Blogging Policy
Girl Museum does not accept unsolicited or paid advertising. We do not pay to post anything on our site. We almost never promote any third-party product on our blog. However, if you think yours is legitimately positive for the health and well being of girls, send us detailed information and we will consider it.

Life Sized: International Day of the Girl 2021
As I watch COVID rear its head, Afghanistan fall to the Taliban, and countless other enraging tragedies, it is hard to pick what to rant about. Haven’t we had enough? Hasn’t the past eighteen months been enough? What do you say when words no longer seem to...
Book Review: One of us is Next
One of us is Next is a spinoff of the best selling YA novel One of us is Lying (shameless plug, I did a review of this back in 2019). It has a nice mix of characters from the first book as well as some new ones to get invested in. Just over a year after the death of...
“Girls Can’t Do Science”
Today I’m going to tell you a story about a time that I was told I wasn’t allowed to do something because I’m a girl, and exactly why you should never ever listen to anybody who tells you these words. Since beginning my internship with Girl Museum, I have made it my...
Betty’s Dolls’ House: Peace from Perfectionism

Advice For young Girls in STEM: an Interview with Hannah Jones and Emily Howling
