👑 Heroines Making History | Tallahassee Magazine
Since 1982, the Florida Women's Hall of Fame has honored trailblazers whose impact shaped our state, from Mary McLeod Bethune to Gloria Estefan and Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
This year’s inductees continue that legacy: Belle Yates Bear, a force for inclusion and philanthropy in Pensacola; Mary Brickell, Miami’s visionary founder and advocate for Native and Black communities; and Dotti Groover-Skipper, a lifelong champion against substance abuse and human trafficking.
Together, they join 118 extraordinary women whose stories reflect resilience, leadership, and service that define Florida’s future.
