The Hall of Fame is administered by a non-profit organisation formed in the early 1990s “to honour and give formal public recognition to Connecticut women past and present who have broken new ground or who have emerged as leaders in their fields of endeavour”. The inductees’ pictures and biographies were originally exhibited in a portable display but in 1998 it became a permanent installation in historic Babcock House on Hartford College for Women campus, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first Women’s Rights’ Convention. The organisation also offers educational and historical programs throughout the State including the Connecticut Women’s Heritage Trail. The CWHF is currently planning a new exhibit Mirror, Mirror: Body Image in American Culture designed for an adolescent audience, and the associated website is also under construction (www.mirrormirroronline.org)
