The El Paso Women's Hall of Fame honors and recognizes the accomplishments of El Paso women. It is sponsored by the El Paso Commission for Women[1] and was established in 1985.[2] The first inductees were honored in 1990.[3]
Inductees are women who live in El Paso and who have made a significant contribution and impact on the community.[4][5] The Commission accepts nominations from the public.[6] There are four honorary members, including Herlinda Chew, Polly Harris, Drusilla Nixon and Hedwig Schwartz.[7] Streets in El Paso have been named after hall of fame inductees.[8]
