These are the Hamilton Women of Fort Wayne

Edith (seated), scholar of Greek and Roman mythology, wrote the classic text, The Greek Way.

Alice (standing), Edith's sister, influential industrial physician, advanced the reform of unsafe working conditions in our nation's factories.

Agnes (with young child), their cousin, accomplished painter and child advocate, worked in settlement houses and founded Fort Wayne's YWCA.

The Hamilton women have made lasting contributions to the well being of citizens on both local and national levels. Fort Wayne is proud of them.

Marker can be reached from Clinton Street.
