Arizona Women's Hall of Fame

Add article description

The Arizona Women's Hall of Fame recognizes women natives or residents of the U.S. state of Arizona for their significant achievements or statewide contributions. In 1979, the office of Governor Bruce Babbitt worked with the Arizona Women's Commission to create the Hall of Fame. The first inductees were in October 1981. During its first decade, the Hall of Fame was overseen by the Arizona Historical Society and the Arizona Department of Library, Archives and Public Records. A steering committee would each year select a varying number of women to be inducted. The 1991 inclusion of Planned Parenthood creator Margaret Sanger resulted in disapproval being heard from some in the Arizona Legislature, and funding dried up. With the lone exception of María Urquides in 1994, there were no Hall of Fame inductees for over a decade. Inductions finally resumed in 2002, when the Hall of Fame has only inducted new honorees every two years.[1] The award returned to being annual in 2018.

In 2023, AZWHF created a scholarship awarded to an individual pursuing a degree in a museum program or a history discipline with an emphasis on women.[2]

As of 2024, sponsorship of the Arizona Women's Hall of Fame is provided by Arizona Humanities, the Arizona Secretary of State, the Arizona State Capital Museum, Arizona State Libraries and Archives, Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park, SRP, Arizona Community Foundation, PBS - Horizonte, the Arizona Historical Society, C.L.
