SENECA FALLS (AP) -- Educator Donna Shalala will be enshrined in the National Women's Hall of Fame in upstate New York this weekend along with singer Billie Holiday and civil rights champion Coretta Scott King.
The 11 women in the 2011 honor roll include Barbara Mikulski, the longest-serving woman in the history of the U.S. Senate, and Lilly Ledbetter, an Alabama woman whose lawsuit against Goodyear sparked a pay equity act in Congress.
They will be inducted Saturday during a weekend of events in Seneca Falls, a historic women's rights village where the hall was established in 1969.
Shalala was the longest-serving secretary of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, from 1993 to 2001.
Holiday and King, the widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., are among five women being honored posthumously.
