In 1848, a group of women and men gathered in Seneca Falls, New York in order to convene the first Women’s Rights Convention. 121 years later, a like-minded group of citizens established the National Women’s Hall of Fame in a historic bank building located in the city’s downtown. Over the past several decades, the organization has seen fit to induct 217 distinguished women into the Hall of Fame, and this site provides information about each of them. Visitors can search the members of the Hall of Fame by last name, or just by browsing a complete list of all inductees. Each entry contains a brief biographical sketch, and a photograph of the inductee. Visitors may also wish to learn about nominating a woman to the Hall of Fame, or even take a look through their online shop.
