Did You Know?

To expand our knowledge of the outstanding leaders of Maryland’s past and present, we will honor both historical and contemporary women who have been inducted into the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame, in addition to renowned Maryland women, many of which are “firsts” and “founders,” and the unsung heroines in our families and communities.

Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame 2009

Since 1985, the Maryland Commission for Women and the Women Legislators of Maryland annually honor Maryland women by inducting them into the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame, which will be housed at the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center.
