Texas Women’s Hall of Fame

Texas Woman’s University was selected to house the permanent exhibit saluting these women. Since its founding more than a century ago, Texas Woman’s has become known for its contributions and leadership in the fields of education, nutrition, the arts, sciences, and especially in the nursing and health care professions. TWU holds a unique position in the Lone Star State and the nation today as America’s largest public university primarily for women.
2020-2021 Honorees
Every other year, the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame awards ceremony recognizes the achievements of women selected for induction. Texas residents submit nominations, and a bipartisan, independent panel of judges chooses who will be inducted from these candidates.

- Lauren Anderson (Arts)
- Charlye Ola Farris (Legal Profession)
- Major General Dawn Ferrell (Military Service)
- Kendra Scott (Business)
- Elaine Stolte (Community Service)
- Ofelia Vasquez-Philo (Civic Leadership)
The Texas Women’s Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was held Nov. 4, 2021, at Texas Woman's University in Denton, TX.
