    Presented by Dr. Reba Wells Grandrud. In 1979 the Arizona Women s Commission and the Office of the Governor created the Women's Hall of Fame, with the Arizona Humanities Council providing the first two years of funding. The Arizona State Library and the Arizona Historical Society took up the challenge of continuing the program. Seventy fascinating Arizona women have now been honored since the first induction ceremony in 1981 homemakers, educators, entrepreneurs, ranch women, legislators, judges, authors, potters, transplants from other states, a mayor, an architect each one, a woman whose story is worth telling, and retelling. Each woman in the Arizona Women's Hall of Fame is different, but a common thread of courage weaves this group together. Whether they are breaking ground, taking action, or influencing their families and communities we can be proud of each one. Bring your lunch; light refreshments served.
