Governor Greg Abbott and the Governor’s Commission for Women selected LaMantia and seven other women for their outstanding achievements and for changing the course of Texas history.

“The Texas Women’s Hall of Fame recognizes and celebrates remarkable Texas women not only for their individual achievements but also for their contributions to building an even stronger Texas of tomorrow,” the governor said in a prepared statement. “I am honored to welcome these accomplished women as inductees. Nominated by their fellow Texans, they have exceled in business, community service, philanthropy, public service, science, sports, and more.
