We have captured the stories of prominent women in sports to highlight their accomplishments. It is important to recognized underserved markets of talent as soon time goes by and we forget the people who came before us. The Herstory concept seeks to celebrate these stories while also providing a platform for the next generation to wish to become someone who can make HERstory!

NOMINATE A LOCAL HERO
If you know a local female for whom athletics (not just ice hockey) and Title IX provided her opportunity and she is now a local leader, please help us tell HERstory. Nominate her. We will recognize her with her own station.
Our trailblazers all know an important legacy of their story is to tell it. They also have their thoughts to pass along to following generations of women. This page of our museum is where we look beyond to the future through the eyes and voices of the women who initially made their mark in the past.
We want to promote and grow the people who have access and learn about the HERstory concept in facilities, corporations, universities, anywhere people come together! Please help us spread the word about these amazing people!
