During the month of November, the National Women’s Hall of Fame is excited to present Interwoven Stories. It will be exploring the connections and relationships between various people, cultures and traditions that make our nation unique.
As the National Women’s Hall of Fame positions itself to host Induction weekend in 2022, it will be creating programming that focuses on themes that tie to the work and priorities of its 2021 inductee. Through a comprehensive series of panels, workshops, social media campaigns, and events, it will explore a wide range of topics relevant to its work to highlight the accomplishments of great American women.
