The MINERVA Center, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 educational foundation. Since 1983 it has supported scholars, journalists, filmmakers, public policy activists and others engaged in the study of women and the military and women in 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. The Center is increasing its efforts to seek funds from foundations, institutions, and corporations.
Last year, MINERVA launched the Minerva Society for the Study of Women and War (MSSWW), a professional scholarly association which will allow the Center to expand its activities. Those who have enrolled in MSSWW as Founders as listed on the Roster of Members and Benefactors, had their contributions fully tax deductible. Supporters who do not wish to join the organization are invited to support the work of the Center with a tax-deductible, online secure contribution via PayPal shown below.
