On October 5, the American National Women's Hall of Fame will honor another select group of American women who have triumphed in the face of overwhelming obstacles and made a "trailblazing" contribution to society.
The enduring value of their accomplishments—and of others inducted into the Hall of Fame in annual ceremonies held since 1973 —will be celebrated in Seneca Falls, New York, birthplace of women's rights in the United States, and site of the first Women's Rights Convention in 1848.
Last October, Mary Baker Eddy was honored as "the only American woman to found a lasting American-based denomination."
