The Governor’s Commission for Women established the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame in 1984 to honor the remarkable achievements of Texas women while sharing their stories of determination and innovation. The biennial awards highlight Texas women who have made significant contributions, often despite great odds. Past honorees include first ladies, Olympic athletes and astronauts. In 2003, the Commission established a permanent exhibit for the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame on the campus of Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas. The exhibit features the biographies, photos and videos of the women who have been chosen to represent the very best of our state. |
