The National Women's Hall of Fame is a US non-profit membership organization that recognizes the achievements of American women. It was founded in Seneca Falls (New York) in 1969 . This is where the first Women's Rights Convention took place in 1848 , at which the Declaration of Sentiments was published. Among those attending the meeting at that time were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott . In 1923 Alice Paul campaigned there for the enforcement of the Equal Rights Amendment .

In the institution's museum, which opened in 1979, there are exhibitions on the women honored there and other events related to the topic.

Every two years, women are selected in a multi-stage process to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame .
