Our traveling exhibitions program is pleased to present "Changing the Face of Power: Women in the U.S. Senate," an exhibition of photographs by photojournalist Melina Mara, created by the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin and presented in partnership with Humanities Texas.

Mara's pioneering work documents the day-to-day lives of the fourteen women senators in office at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The candid images show the senators attending hearings, meeting the press, greeting their constituents, consulting with staff, legislating behind the scenes, and sharing private moments with colleagues and family.
