Women's hall of fame The National Women's Hall of Fame is an exhibition and research center in Seneca Falls, N.Y., "to honor in perpetuity those women, citizens of the United States of America, whose contributions to the arts, athletics, business, education, government, the humanities, philanthropy and science, have been of greatest value for the development of their country." The center was opened to the public in 1979 and is located near the site of the first Women's Rights Convention, convened in 1848 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Coffin Mott. In addition to

permanent displays of memorabilia and historical documents, the center maintains a library and sponsors symposia and educational outreach programs, including activities for visiting schoolchildren, slide presentations, and a traveling exhibition. A film series about the lives of the honorees, designed for national distribution, is planned. American women, of the past and present, are elected annually to the museum by the National Honors Committee, a panel of 25 women and men, eminent authorities in various fields; their choices are made from nominations submitted by the public, national organizations, and newspaper and magazine editors.
