"We are going to read all of the names of the people who have been submitted. So I think it's just going to be a really neat opportunity to just show the volumes of women that have made an impact on people," said Lexington League of Women Voters president Liza Holland.
On a recent episode of WUKY's Lex Talk History podcast, Lexington History Museum executive director Mandy Higgins said those essay entries will also be included in a forthcoming exhibit.

The event takes place this Sunday March 8th at 3 p.m. at the Stand monument at South Mill and West Vine.
