The mission of the National Women's Hall of Fame is "to honour in perpetuity those 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 of fame recognises important women in the US and we recommend you take a moment to browse through the list of inspirational women in the US either at the dedicated wikipedia page or visit the greatwomen.org site to nominate any one you find inspirational over the Atlantic!
