Curating temporary exhibitions with high visual appeal and compelling historical narratives is central to the work of museums. Yet what exhibitions teach as historical truth tends to concentrate on heteronormative masculine histories, reinforcing superiorities and whitewashing centuries of patriarchal oppression, control and violence. In response, museums in Canada and England are curating feminist exhibitions. I explored how 14 feminist exhibitions curated between 2016 and 2024 operated as feminist adult educators and specifically, what and how they educated. Findings how critical and creative strategies 'herstory' new subjects and agency, disrupt universalisms, make visible common differences, illuminate hidden ideologies, and out historical myths that continue to shape our gendered world. Feminist exhibitions not only minimise patriarchal power but interrupt negative perceptions of feminists through humour, satire and irony. By showcasing a range of issues, power dynamics and lives long denied visibility and intellectual credibility feminist exhibitions provide role models, create new knowledge and make a different world visible, hearable, feelable, and imaginable. By looking back they think forward, by cross fertilising the past with the present they offer not simply a new women's history but a new history for all.
