We are excited to announce that nominations are now open for
the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame Class of 2026!

Established in 1985 by the Maryland Commission for Women, in partnership with the Women Legislators of Maryland and Governor Harry Hughes, the Hall of Fame honors Maryland women with outstanding accomplishments and enduring contributions to their professions and communities. Inductees serve as an inspiration to future generations of women and girls across all fields.

This year, we are especially seeking to recognize historical women from the 1700s through the 20th century who may not have received the recognition they deserve. Is there a founding mother from your organization, profession, or community who made a significant impact? If so, we encourage you to nominate her!
