Sponsored by Women's Voices and the New Mexico Historic Women Marker Initiative a project of the New Mexico Women's Forum,

Not one of New Mexico's 600+ Official Scenic Historic Markers had as its central subject a woman, although dozens of men from the valiant to the shameful are commemorated with markers around the state. That has all changed thanks to the New Mexico Historic Women Marker Initiative, which has now placed 64 markers around the state honoring more than 100 women. Historian Dr. Tom Chavez will provide an engaging lecture about these fascinating women from our history. Founding member Patricia French and Executive Director Karren Sahler will be on hand to provide a history of the project. All are welcome but seating is limited.
