2010 Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame Inductees with former First Lady Frances Strickland

A Message from the Ohioana Library

Ohio women have made and continue to make a positive difference in our communities, state, nation and world. We invite you to help us publicly recognize the outstanding accomplishments of Ohio women by nominating an exceptional woman for the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame (OWHF). We urge you to spread the word to family, friends, colleagues and other organizations and encourage them to nominate Ohio women who have made, or are making, history.

The Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame has played an important role in celebrating and preserving the current and historic contributions of Ohio’s women. To date, more than 400 women have received the prestigious distinction of being inducted into the OWHF. Together, we can continue to honor the tremendous achievements of Ohio’s talented and inspirational women.

We also invite you to join us for the OWHF Induction Ceremony on August 25, 2011 at the Ohio Statehouse. This annual event is free and open to the public, and gives us all the opportunity to honor and celebrate some of Ohio’s most remarkable women each year.

About the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame

The Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame was established in 1978 by the Women’s Division of the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services (now part of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services) to publicly recognize the many outstanding contributions Ohio women have made to their state and nation. Members of the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame come from all walks of life, but each has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to excellence, achievement and service to others. The Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame serves as a daily tribute to these women who are an ongoing source of pride and inspiration for all Ohioans – especially our state’s next generation of leaders.

The Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame honors Ohio women who emerge as leaders in their fields, often against great odds, with courage, determination and compassion. By celebrating their accomplishments, their struggles and triumphs, we prepare our children for the choices they must make and the challenges yet to come.
