 Writing Women Into History - Founded 1987Throughout its rich history, Marin county has been the home of many outstanding women as diverse as its vistas. In 1987, a group of women founded the Marin Women's Hall of Fame with the mission to discover and honor women in our community who serve as role models and demonstrate excellence in a wide range of endeavors. The Marin Women's Hall of Fame was the first organization in Marin County to recognize the achievements and contributions made by its extraordinary women citizens. These are the women leaders who have devoted their lives to excellence. They have made such a significant contribution to the overall well-being of our county and its residents; the life, culture, mores and even the landscape. In March, during Women's History Month, an annual dinner is held to celebrate our Honorees.. Throughout the year the Board of Directors of the Marin Women's Hall of Fame prepares videotaped histories, compiles biographies and commissions photographic portraits of all the honorees. Honorees include local luminaries as well as many lesser known women
whose
accomplishments are no less remarkable. Throughout all the years accomplishments in Marin that has affected people locally, nationally and globally. In addition to honoring these notable women of Marin, the Women's Hall of Fame also seeks to "write women back into history" by creating and making available the biographies which spotlight accomplishments usually ignored by the media. The Hall of Fame works to integrate such important history and history-in-the-making by proactively developing new initiatives and programs that serve the needs and issues of tweens through elders. The goal is to make HERstory...not just read about it. Enjoy reading the life story of each of the honored women, nominate a woman or contact the Marin Women's Hall of Fame through this website.
