"It seems to me that there is in each of us a capacity to comprehend the impressions and emotions which have been experienced by mankind from the beginning. This inherited capacity is a sort of sixth sense-a soul-sense which sees, hears, feels, all in one."
- Helen Keller
Mission
To honor those women in perpetuity who have worked in a public spotlight, as well as those who have quietly enriched the community and inspired others.
The Western New York Women's Hall of Fame's genesis lies in the work of women who organized the New York State Coalition on Women's Issues, Project FLIGHT, a family literacy program, and the Western New York History Committee. Dr. Geraldine E. Bard
and Dr. Betty J. Cappella of Buffalo State College lead the cadre of women who are the foundation for the Western New York Women's Hall of Fame.
They and the women elected to the hall, and those who will find themselves there in the future attest to the vast energy, strength, talent, and public spiritedness of this region's female population.
