The National Women’s Hall of Fame has announced its 2023 inductees.
Eight women will be honored at the hall’s 31st annual induction ceremony in September.
Patricia Bath, Elouise Cobell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Peggy McIntosh, Judith Plaskow, Loretta Ross, Allucquére Rosanne “Sandy” Stone, and Anna Wessels Williams will be inducted at the September ceremony taking place at Geneva’s Smith Opera House.
These eight women’s contributions to society range from social justice issues to work in the sciences, theology, and the arts. Detailed information on each inductee can be found on the hall’s website.
The ceremony will be streamed on YouTube and tickets are available from the Smith for those who wish to attend in person.
“In the five decades since its first Induction Ceremony in 1973, the Hall has continued to lift the voices and stories of exceptional women who changed the world,” said Jennifer Gabriel, executive director of the National Women’s Hall of Fame. “We are excited to come together with the nation in September in celebration of another historic class of honorees.”
“I am honored to be the first Inductee to serve as president of the board,” said Jean Kilbourne, president of the Hall’s Board of Directors. “I look forward to welcoming these eight amazing women into the Hall. It is more important than ever to hear and to amplify women’s stories.”
