~ Sacramento, CA - The California Hall of Fame has announced its 18th class of inductees, consisting of trailblazing women in various fields such as athletics, civil rights, culinary arts, and entertainment. This is the first time in the history of the California Hall of Fame that the entire class is comprised of women, in recognition of their significant contributions to the state's history.
Governor Gavin Newsom, along with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom and the California Museum, made the announcement today. The posthumous class will be honored in a virtual ceremony on Thursday, December 19.

First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom also expressed her excitement for this year's all-women class. "We are thrilled to announce the induction of the first all-women class of honorees into the California Hall of Fame," she said.
