The Maine Women’s Hall of Fame was founded in 1990 by the BPW/Maine Futurama Foundation. For over 30 years, it has honored women who have made a significant statewide impact and have improved the lives of women through a lifetime of achievement. The Hall of Fame is dedicated to women whose accomplishments have had a lasting statewide influence and have provided enduring value for women.
The annual Induction Ceremony, typically held on the third Saturday of March as part of Women’s History Month, is an outstanding public event where one or two women of achievement are honored.
The University of Maine Augusta has generously provided a site in the Bennett D. Katz Library for the display of photographs and citations for each honoree.
