[Please note: The information below has been adapted directly from the

In much of the world, women grow food, collect fuel, and carry the weight
of their family's water on their shoulders. The Women, Power and Politics
exhibition shows you just what happens when the Earth and its resources are
threatened.

Women are fighting back by saving Seeds of Resistance from becoming
intellectual property, planting Roots of Peace with Nobel Peace Prize
winner Wangari Maathai, and organizing for political action to address
their Water Woes.

Learn how the environment affects women's health, and how women are using
creative measures to call for action in Picturing Breast Cancer and
Measuring Mercury Hair by Hair.
