2027 Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame

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.

Our Class of 2027 inductees will be women from throughout history who have not yet been appropriately recognized. Is there a founding mother from your organization or field who made a significant impact in the 1700’s, 1800’s, 1900’s or 20th Century? We want to hear about her!

Nominations are due November 1, 2026
