OURMISSION

For 30 years the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame has honored the achievements of women by celebrating their legacies and telling their powerful stories, inspiring women and girls to realize their own limitless potential.

As the state’s premier resource for Connecticut women’s history, we accomplish our mission through education and community outreach programs for both students and adults.

OURVISION

At the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame, we envision a future unbound by stereotyped expectations...

Where women are seen and celebrated for their multiple identities

Where youth are inwardly and outwardly unlimited in what they can accomplish

Where women and men are valued, compensated, and represented equally in every aspect of life, from household roles to professional roles, and in our educational, legal, economic, and social systems.

We envision a culture and worldview that are balanced and healthy for all, based on the principles of equity, inclusion, racial justice, and mutual respect.

women are represented.
