This bill says the memorial that honors the women who worked on the home front during World War II may be placed on the National Mall. The memorial was authorized earlier by Congress for federal land in Washington, D.C. The bill specifically allows the memorial to be located in Area I of the Mall map or in the Reserve, even though another law (40 U.S.C. 8908) would normally limit placement.
If this bill becomes law, the World War II women's memorial could be built on the National Mall or the Reserve in Washington, D.C. The bill does not require construction or give a schedule. It only allows those chosen locations instead of excluding them.

Supporters say more than 18,000,000 women worked on the home front during World War II in jobs like pilots, engineers, mechanics, and code breakers. They note Congress already authorized a foundation to establish this commemorative work, and placing the memorial on the National Mall would respectfully extend the legacy of those women's service and sacrifice.
