The Walk of the Heroines is a memorial and park on the Portland State University campus in Portland, Oregon.
The 18,000-square-foot park, "designed to give artistic recognition to women's vital contributions to our society and daily life",[1] is along Southwest Harrison between 10th and 11th Avenues.[2] It features walls inscribed with the names of more than 1,000 women, including Hillary Clinton, Amy Jacques Garvey, and Barbara Roberts.[3] Mother Joseph Pariseau is also honored.[4] John Laursen contributed to the project.[5] Linda Stein designed the memorial's bronze torso sculptures.[6]
In Portland Monthly list of "The Weirdest, Most Wonderful Memorials and Museums in Portland (and Beyond)" Margaret Seiler wrote, "Many of the honorees and engraved quotes along the walkway have a ’90s-era, usual-suspects, herstory vibe, but lines from Nation columnist Katha Pollitt and novelist Arundhati Roy bring the walk into the 21st century."[3]
