Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

In 1968, Shirley Hartley, retired executive secretary of the president of Eisenhower College, started the drive to establish a national women's hall of fame. She organized the Founders' Tea in the Old Armitage in Seneca Falls. The town was chosen because of its links to the birth of the Women's Rights Movement in 1848. The first 20 honorees were announced at the Inaugural Induction in 1973. To date, 275 women have been inducted for achievements in the arts, business, education, humanities, politics and science. The organization is moving from its historic downtown premises to the 1844 Seneca Knitting Mill, a place rooted in the abolitionist and women's rights movements.
