Of course there are women in any Hall of Fame.

One that comes immediately to mind and is a great inspiration to anyone
who has heard her talk or knows of her exploits is Audrey Sutherland. 
Has done wonders of paddling with an inflatable.  She is on the north
side of 60 and does many solo paddles in remote parts.  Her
demonstration on how she camps is a work of art.  She packs light enough
to be totally self-contained when moving through airports etc.  She is
the champion of making certain that everything she has can do double and
triple duty.  I know she makes the symposium rounds.  Look for her name
on the list of speakers and pounce.
