IOWA WOMEN'S HALL OF FAME

Many outstanding women have helped shape Iowa, and
many strong female leaders continue to contribute their talents and
skills to the state's growth. To recognize and honor these achievers
and to provide visible examples for tomorrow's female leaders, the Iowa
Commission of the Status of Women established the Women's Hall of Fame
in 1975.
Each year the commission solicits nominations of women
- living or deceased - who have had an impact on the state and particularly
on Iowa women. The four winners are chosen yearly by a five member selection
committee of three commission members and two public citizens. Inductees
are honored by the governor at a special ceremony in late August.
