Stand with HER Story

Throughout history, women have been builders of community, as educators, advocates, innovators, moms, and more, though their work often goes unseen in the written record. Stand with HER Story is our effort to change that narrative.

This community-wide initiative, hosted by the League of Women Voters of Lexington and the Lexington History Museum, invites you to share the stories of women who have made an impact in your life, your neighborhood, or across our city. 

From November 24, 2025, through January 31, 2026, nominations are open for women of every age and background who inspire, lead, and uplift others.

Each story will help us build a living legacy of Lexington’s women  - a testament to the power of recognition and gratitude. The celebration will culminate in a public reading of submitted names at the STAND memorial in downtown Lexington, honoring the women who have shaped our community and ensuring their voices are part of Lexington’s ongoing story.

Join us in lifting the women whose work deserves to be seen, heard, and remembered.
Nominate HER. Celebrate HER. Stand with HER Story.
