U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, civil rights icon Angela Davis, actress Jane Fonda and attorney Gloria Allred were among the 11 women inducted on Saturday into the National Womens Hall of Fame .
The inductees, all nominated by the public before being short-listed by a panel of experts based on their contributions in areas like art, government and science, were honored at a ceremony at the hall in Seneca Falls, New York.
Induction chairwoman Sujatha Ramanujan told the AP that while the hall does not identify themes when calling for nominations, this years pool of nominees appeared to reflect the countrys sociopolitical mood.
It shows up in the nominations because we ask the general public and in a time when women are feeling like their voices need to be heard, theyre nominating women whose voices were loud, Ramanujan said.

At each significant turning point in my life, when I was introduced to the world of progressive political activism, anti-racist prison abolition struggles, when I myself was on the FBIs 10 Most Wanted List and ended up spending two years in jail and on trial, when I became involved in many international solidarity efforts, intersectional feminist movements, Ive always been one of many, Davis said, according to AP.
My own consciousness has been enabled always by shared endeavors and collective consciousness, she added.
