The effort to build a monument in Washington, DC, dedicated to the early American women's equality movement will be promoted by the first lady.

Trump wrote that she was "honored" to join the Women's Suffrage National Monument Foundation as an "honorary chair" to help secure a National Mall monument.

Trump joining former first ladies for a cause is notable after her husband former President Donald Trump avoided working with every living former president in public service announcements for vaccine preventable diseases.

Her husband is going to be deposed in a defamation case by a magazine writer who claimed the former president raped her in a dressing room.

The Women's Suffrage National Monument Foundation announced its chairs on Monday, which included Biden, Trump, and Laura Bush.

A law was signed by Trump to build the monument. There aren't many statues of women in the capital and there aren't many on the National Mall.

The Women's Suffrage National Monument will be built in the summer of 2027.
