The Alabama Women's Hall of Fame is located in
Marion, Alabama, on the campus of
Judson College in the
beautifully restored A. Howard Bean Hall.
The Alabama Women's Hall of Fame, which occupies the
main floor, was established to provide a permanent place of honor for Alabama's
most outstanding women and a place for people to visit and learn about the
significant contributions that these women have made to our state and nation.
Visitors will have the chance to meet women from the
past--some well-known and some who have been overlooked in the history books.
Stories of Helen Adams Keller,
Julia Strudwick Tutwiler, Amelia Gayle Gorgas, Tallulah
Bankhead, Mildred Westervelt Warner and
others are told through portraits, photographs,
letters, and bronze plaques.
The Hall of Fame began in 1970 to
honor the lives of outstanding women from the state of Alabama. Inductees must
be deceased for two years and be from or affiliated with Alabama. Women to be
inducted are selected by unanimous vote of the board of directors of the AWHF.
The board is from a cross section of the state and represents broad areas of
interest.To nominate a woman for this honor, call (334) 683-5100 or use the
printable FORM and mail to AWHF, Judson College, 302
Bibb Street, Marion, AL 36756.
