Abstract
This chapter mentions the Clara Barton National Historic Site, the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, and the Maggie Walker National Historic Site, which are the only three parks that were focused on women. It puts emphasis on Judy Hart's dream of the National Park Service being able to interpret a broad story in addressing the history of women being treated differently and unfairly. It also considers national significance as the single most important criteria for a new national park. The chapter covers the broad interpretation of “feasibility,” which generally meant that the Park Service desired historic structures that retained their authenticity and needed no more than preservation or restoration. Within the National Park Service, the integrity of a building, which is defined as the degree to which it retains its historic appearance and structure, is a critical factor in determining its national significance.
