For the next few months, there’s an endless ladies night at the National Geographic Museum.

The “Women of Vision” exhibit features the work of 11 female photojournalists from the past decade. The exhibit showcases a wide range of photos and multimedia projects with subjects and locations that span the world, from the vast, empty landscapes of the American West to images of war and brutality in the Middle East.

With legends like Margaret Bourke-White, these 11 women are among the newest generation of photojournalists in an industry sometimes known for being a bit of a boys’ club. The works – though widely varying in perspective, location, and style – all explore the central conceptof “what it means to be human in the 21st century.”

The exhibit is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and runs until March 9. It’s located at 1145 17th St NW. Tickets cost $9, which includes entrance to the entire National Geographic Museum.
