Welcome to the Minerva Center

The MINERVA Center, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 educational foundation. Since 1983 it has provided information and inspiration to military women and women veterans and supported scholars, journalists, filmmakers, public policy activists and others engaged in the study of women and war. It is non-partisan and does not engage in advocacy although it provides information to all individuals and groups who contact us.

For two decades, MINERVA published MINERVA: Quarterly Report on Women and the Military, a scholarly journal, and Minerva's Bulletin Board, a quarterly news magazine. In 1995, the MINERVA Center replaced the news magazine by launching H-MINERVA, a free resource affiliated with the H-NET consortium of scholarly discussion groups. Starting in 2007, the journal has appeared as the Minerva Journal of Women and War.

Since its founding, The MINERVA Center has been supported entirely by private contributions and sales of its books and journals.
