On March 5, the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Wonder Woman and Women’s History Month with a special public program at the Arts & Industries Building on the National Mall.
The program features a headline conversation with Lynda Carter, the iconic actress who brought Wonder Woman to television audiences, and Patty Jenkins, director and screenwriter of the Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984 films that introduced the iconic superhero to a new generation.
Following the conversation, a panel discussion will explore the “Wonder Woman effect”—from comics and film to real-world leadership and representation—featuring voices from entertainment, business, and public service.
The event reflects on why generations have looked up to Wonder Woman not just for her superpowers, but for the idea that courage, wisdom, and agency are within reach.
Date: March 5, 2026
Time: 6:30–7:30 pm
Location: Smithsonian Arts & Industries Building, 900 Jefferson Drive SW, Washington, DC
The event is free, but registration is required here.
