I was googling for some images to put into the slideshow I just installed (see right), and ran into the website for the National Women's Hall of Fame.
Currently the Hall has inducted 226 women into its prestigious ranks. These giants among herstory include such familiar names as first lady, Abigail Adams, and lesser knowns like industrial engineer, Lillian Gilbreth.
According to the website:
"The women and men of Seneca Falls created the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1969, believing that the contributions of American women deserved a permanent home. In 1979, after a major fundraising drive, the Hall purchased an historic bank building in the heart of the Seneca Falls Historic District, renovating it to house the Hall's permanent exhibit, artifacts of historical interest, and offices."
I definitely encourage you to check out this wonderful resource of women's history. Click here to surf a complete list of the Women of the Hall.
