1993 Inductee Wilma Mankiller was born on this day in 1945. The powerful first woman Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, Wilma Mankiller spent her formative years in San Francisco, where she learned about the women’s movement and organizing. When she returned to her native Oklahoma, Mankiller used her skills to help the Cherokee Nation, starting community self-help programs and teaching people ways out of poverty. In 1983 she ran for deputy chief of the Nation, and in 1985 Mankiller became Principal Chief. Mankiller brought about important strides for the Cherokees, including improved health care, education, utilities management and tribal government. She was instrumental in attracting higher-paying industry to the area, improving adult literacy, supporting women returning to school and more. Mankiller also lived in the larger world, active in civil rights matters, lobbying the federal government and supporting women’s activities and issues. She said: “We’ve had daunting problems in many critical areas, but I believe in the old Cherokee injunction to ‘be of a good mind.’ Today it’s called positive thinking.” Mankiller was instrumental in establishing the Nation to Nation relationship between the Cherokee Nation and the Federal Government. Her many honors included the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998, the Elizabeth Blackwell Award, and Ms. Magazine’s Woman of the Year.

关于我们
Founded in 1969, the National Women's Hall of Fame was created to build a permanent home to honor women whose enduring contributions have transformed the landscape of America. The Hall is the nation's oldest membership organization to do so. Today we honor 276 women in our gallery from the arts, athletics, business, education, government, humanities, philanthropy and science. Inductees are nominated by the public at large; all nominations are adjudicated by a panel of experts drawn from the wider public. The Hall is currently housed in the Helen Mosher Barben Building in the heart of the historic district of Seneca Falls, NY where the women's movement began. Now almost 50 years old, the Hall has outgrown its space and is rehabilitating the nearby 1844 Seneca Knitting Mill as our new home.

This very question is why a National Women’s Hall of Fame exists.
"So where's the National Men's Hall of Fame?" I've heard this question -- and flavors of it -- countless times in the past three years. Very rarely does the tone imply genuine curiosity. More often, it's said with sarcasm. (And it may surprise you that most of the time, the question comes from a woman - that's a post for another day.) This morning, for the first time, it was a reporter who asked me this question during a live radio interview. I took a deep breath and leaned in. Unlike for-profit entities, the ultimate goal for many nonprofits isn't perpetual existence; it's about solving the very problems that made their formation necessary. Despite all the progress made since the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls in 1848, women have not achieved gender equity. ???? Women make up 60% of America’s workforce. And yet, women hold only 26% of executive positions in the US. Only 5% of executives are women of color. ?? Women make up only 28% of the workforce in STEM fields. ?? Women are still paid less than men, and the pay gap worsens with age. In entry and mid-career positions, women earn 16 percent less than men. The gender gaps are particularly high in some of the fastest-growing and highest-paid jobs of the future, like computer science and engineering. ?? The United States has more than 4,500 public statues honoring men. And just 400 statues representing women. ?? Less than 2% of all giving in this nation is directed towards women and girls’ causes. Organizations like the National Women’s Hall of Fame shine a spotlight on people and contributions to society that would otherwise be overlooked, forgotten, or misrepresented; together, we promote a more equitable and inclusive world. Our work is not about excluding men, quite the contrary! It's about raising awareness that representation matters and greatness has no gender, color, age, or income level. #equity #women

Last week, Hall CEO Jennifer Gabriel traveled to DC to attend a celebration at The White House in recognition of a recent executive order to strengthen the recognition of women's history.
My vacation week took a very unexpected turn when I received an invitation to represent the National Women's Hall of Fame at The White House to celebrate the President’s recent executive order to increase the representation of women’s history in sites across America and help honor the legacy and contributions of women and girls to our country. It was an invitation I was certainly not going to pass up, so I reimagined my time away and flew yesterday to DC for the event, stopping by a mall to purchase literally everything from head to toe… because the nicest thing I had with me in my baggage was a pair of sneakers I had already decided would become “lawn mowing shoes” after the trip. Truly. It was a remarkable experience — the most powerful parts not necessarily connected to the location, other than it served as a gathering spot for some of the smartest, most innovative, leaders working to lift up women’s experiences and voices as we work towards true gender equity. Now back to that much needed time away!
