Women's Rights National Historical Park to Host National Women’s Hall of Fame Event: When Living is Leading: Women, Advocacy, and Giving on September 17, 2017

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on Sept. 8, 2017. It is reproduced in full below.

Seneca Falls, NY -The National Women’s Hall of Fame is the nation’s oldest membership organization dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the achievements of great American women. This esteemed group grows with each Induction Ceremony and as women continue to influence and shape the arts, athletics, business, education, government, humanities, philanthropy and science.

There is a lot of buzz about women taking the lead today in giving and advocacy. Join 2017 National Women’s Hall of Fame (the Hall) Inductees: Victoria Jackson, Sherry Lansing, Aimee Mullins, and Carol Mutter to discuss “when living is leading" - by asking how women advocate and give, how we talk about women’s leadership, and how we make that leadership visible. These 2017 Inductees of the Hall point to where hope lies - in creating new worlds, being advocates for change and making change happen.

The panelists will take the stage at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 17th in the Wesleyan Chapel at Women’s Rights National Historical Park.
