Here's a women who is currently making Virginian history today:

Marian Van Landingham
Artist and Community Leader
Marion Van Landingham, with her belief that artistic expression is central
to the health of a community, convinced the City of Alexandria, Virginia, to
support her vision of an innovative partnership between the city and 185
artists. Her plan created the Torpedo Factory Art Center, which now serves
as the anchor of Alexandria's revitalized waterfront and a beacon of culture
and community.

Subject: Greatest/Most Important Virginia Women


Although several Virginia women were mentioned in the late Va-Hist
discussions about some of the most important historical figures, I think
that we should accept the challenge that Randy Cabell reported his wife
making and ask:

Who were the greatest or most important women in Virginia's history? And
why?
