New Mexico Historic Women Marker Initiative is a celebration of women in our multicultural history. It highlights their contributions in the arts, education, business, government, science, military, healthcare and as early settlers. The marker initiative provides a unique and welcoming space for showcasing women in our state’s history. We seek to encourage collaboration and dialogue among multiple generations to explore our history. Our goal is to evoke new ways of honoring women and stimulate a sense of honor and pride in New Mexico.
