Mission
The mission of the Massachusetts Women’s History Center (MWHC), with its flagship program the Massachusetts Women’s Hall of Fame (MWHOF), is to amplify the history of contributions (known and unknown) of Massachusetts women of all backgrounds over the generations from throughout the Commonwealth. By shining a light on Massachusetts women, many of whom made monumental contributions against all odds, the MWHC aims to inspire others - of all ages, backgrounds, interests, and genders - to be all that they can be.
