History is interesting, but HERstory is fascinating!
And so, "Marin Women's Hall of Fame" was formed, echoing the same effort in place at the historic Suffragette site in Seneca Falls, New York. The founders detailed plans: how to discover these women, how to objectively guage their contributions; how to shine a bright light upon their accomplishments so the public could become aware of these outstanding women. One frightening thought was when they contemplated what if they gave this "party" and nobody cared - or came! 21 years of successful celebrations have confirmed that they had made the right decisions and were heading in the right direction. As the project progressed, more women from the Women's Commission and from American Association of University Women joined the cause. The Commission provided "seed money" ($200.00). The steering committee made community contacts for nominations and judging. Dominican College hosted the "sell out" crowd. the "little idea that could" was launched. The original Founders were Bonnie Rose Hough and Ann Kennedy representing the YWCA; Commissioner Rita Levy, Nancy Nakai and Patricia Warren representing the Women's Commission. they were later joined by Commissioner Anne Latta and AAUW representative, Carol Shellenberger.
