Welcome to The Awesome Women of Singapore, a captivating exhibition celebrating the extraordinary contributions of women who have shaped our nation’s history and future. This exhibition honours the trailblazers whose courage, vision, and determination continue to inspire generations.
Through this showcase, we invite you to discover the remarkable stories of these women and reflect on the impact they have made in various fields, from science and education to sports, arts, and community advocacy.

Hidden Heroes: Celebrating Everyday Champions
Alongside honouring Singapore’s most prominent women, we celebrate the unsung heroines among us through the Hidden Heroes initiative. This segment of the exhibition invites you to pay tribute to the everyday women whose quiet strength and selfless contributions uplift those around them.
Who is your Hidden Hero? She could be:
– The hawker auntie who starts her day before dawn to nourish her community
– The cleaner who works tirelessly to ensure our shared spaces are safe and welcoming
– A teacher, mentor, or colleague who has empowered you to reach your potential
– A neighbour, friend, or loved one whose unwavering support has made all the difference
Visit the Hidden Heroes corner to share their stories, leave a tribute, or simply reflect on the incredible impact of these everyday champions. Together, we honour not only the extraordinary but also the quiet resilience that strengthens our community.
