IOWA WOMEN'S HALL OF FAME
Iowa Women's Hall of Fame. The Iowa Commission on the Status of Women established the Women's Hall of Fame in 1975. Each year the commission solicited nominations of women, living or deceased, who exerted an impact on the state. Four winners are chosen annually by a five-member selection committee composed of two public citizens and three commission members. The governor has honored the inductees at a special ceremony in late August.
Among the women inducted into the Hall of Fame were the following from Dubuque:
Mary Newbury ADAMS 1981
Mary Frances CLARKE 1984
Anna LAWTHER 1985
Nancy HILL 1989
Ruth NASH 2004
