Georgia Women's Hall of Fame
The honorees of Georgia Women's Hall of Fame have left an indelible imprint on the State of Georgia and its citizens. From artists to authors, scientists, politicians, educators and athletes, more than 80 women have been inducted into this prestigous Hall. Through these life stories, contained here in biographical and video formats, we are all encouraged to use our own unique talents and mentor future generations.
​
Since its inception, the mission of GWA has been to honor the inspirational and courageous female trailblazers of our state while providing education and awareness of their accomplishments. In furtherance of the values of the organization, the Board of the Georgia Women of Achievement remains steadfastly committed to diversity and inclusion as to all inductees. As a Board, we are dedicated to our educational mission through transparency and authenticity through an ongoing review of all inductees, past and future.
