The Chicago Women's Hall of Fame was created in 1988 by the Chicago Commission on Women to recognize the endeavors of women to improve their socio-economic and political quality of life in the City of Chicago, United States.[1] The awards were distributed each August and photographs and biographies of the inductees were placed in City Hall to inspire others to aim for excellence.[2] August was chosen to commemorate the passage of the 19th Amendment, which occurred on August 26, 1920.[3]
