The Tandang Sora Women’s Museum is named after Melchora Aquino- Ramos (January 6, 1812-February 19, 1919), whose virtues are at the heart of the Museum‘s Vision. It serves as a place of learning and healing against patriarchy and all forms of violence.

 

The Tandang Sora Women’s Museum offers visitors a chance to appreciate and draw inspiration from the depths of her patriotism as a woman and revolutionary. Often overlooked in male-centered historical accounts, women are heroes in their own rights. They are not passive actors in history but major participants, shaping events with their significant contributions. The Museum documents women’s critical roles from pre-colonial to the contemporary women’s movement. It offers access to materials highlighting women‘s rights and freedom struggles. It stands to pay tribute to the countless women from different walks of life who have dedicated their lives and talents to uplifting the status of Filipino women.

 

Tandang Sora, known as the Mother of the Philippine Revolution lives on in the stories of women who continue to wage their struggles in pursuit of a just, free, prosperous and peaceful life as a nation.
