Hall of Femme 2021

For its sixth Hall of Femme class, PRWeek inducts a record 28 honorees who are the guiding lights within the industry.

The Hall of Femme Class of 2021 has been expanded to recognize the tremendous women who stepped up to the plate in the past year and decades prior.

Many of them cite 'mom' as one of their chief mentors.

All of them are sending the elevator back down to help younger versions of themselves succeed in competitive environments.

They stress the need to be yourself, be constantly curious, listen actively and lead with humanity and empathy.

They accept it's OK to not be OK sometimes.

They prioritize self-care.

All of this was also highlighted as part of PRWeek's Femme Forward series, which showcases a diverse group of women in PR who describe the challenges of the past 12 months dealing with COVID-19, home schooling, working from home, domestic chores and the racial reckoning of 2020.

With more leaders such as this, brands and corporations can create sustainable working environments, which is especially important in a PR industry that is populated 70% by women.
