Celebrate
Celebrate the greatness of ordinary women, and the ordinary-ness of great women; the talents, wisdom, accomplishments, and example of ordinary women doing great things.
Whether following a career path, serving in the military, raising a family, or building an empire - women have found that "can-do" spirit makes almost anything possible to attain.

Mary Walker, M.D. (1832 - 1919)
First female surgeon in the U.S. Army, she continually crossed the Confederate lines to treat civilians. After being taken prisoner in 1864 and imprisoned in Richmond, she was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the first woman to receive this award. In 1917, her medal, along with 910 others, was taken away when Congress revised the standards to include only "actual combat with the enemy." She refused to return the medal, wore it until her death, and it was finally awarded to her posthumously.Click here for the full story.

- National Women's Hall of Fame
- In 1969, a group of women and men of Seneca Falls created the National Women's Hall of Fame, believing that the contribution of American women deserved a permanent home in the small village where it all began. The Hall is home to exhibits, artifacts of historical interest, a research library and office. The National Women's Hall of Fame, a national membership organization, holds as its mission:
"To honor in perpetuity these women, citizens of the United States of America whose contributions to the arts, athletics, business, education, government, the humanities, philanthropy and science, have been the greatest value for the development of their country."©
The Hall is a shrine to some of the greatest women in the history of this country and a tribute that grows annually with each induction ceremony as we learn to appreciate more about the wonderful contributions that women make to our civilization.
