  Ms. STABENOW. Mr. Speaker, 10 years ago the Michigan Women's Studies 
Association opened the Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of 
Fame.
  During this landmark year, I commend the Michigan Women's Studies 
Association for their outstanding efforts.

  Through the years, the Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of 
Fame's publications, programs, and traveling exhibits, have enabled the 
people of Michigan to learn more about outstanding women leaders in our 
State. These leaders have made an enduring contribution to our State 
and our society. Without the MWSA, their work might not ever have been 
acknowledged.
  The Michigan Women's Studies Association and the Historical Center 
and Hall of Fame have been a catalyst in bringing the diverse roles of 
women to the forefront in Michigan. Through their work, the 
accomplishments of hundreds of women have now become an important part 
of the social fabric and collective memory of the State.
  Michigan's history is rich in the achievements and contributions of 
our State's women. I am proud that we have a way of honoring the women 
who have been shining examples to us all.
