"The Texas Women's Hall of Fame is a showcase for the outstanding women that have helped make our state what it is today," Gov. Perry said. "These nominees will join the ranks of exemplary Texas women who have made a difference in so many lives across the state."

The Texas Women's Hall of Fame was established in 1984 to honor the state's most accomplished women, including first ladies, teachers, astronauts and athletes. The permanent exhibit, which features biographies and photographs of inductees, was established by the Governor's Commission for Women in 2003 at Texas Woman's University's Hubbard Hall.
