PLEASE NOTE: The Plaza of Heroines database is being updated.
Located in front of Catt Hall, the Plaza of Heroines contains
more than 3,600 bricks with the names of women who, as role models,
made an impact on families, communities, and society as mothers,
teachers, wives, scientists, friends and activists.
A registry of every woman’s name honored with a brick is now online.
The registry includes a statement provided by the donor about why the
woman is being honored, the location of her brick within the Plaza of
Heroines, the donor’s names, and if provided by the donor, her biography
and photo.
The faculty information, statements and opinions expressed in the narrative
are the responsibility and views of the donor and do not necessarily reflect
the policy or opinions of Iowa State University, the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences nor the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics.
Individuals who wish to recognize an important woman in their
lives may do so by contacting Julie
