Florida's Department of State recognizes significant places, persons, and events in Florida via the Historical Markers Program.
In 2017 only six of the 950 state markers are of women: Annie Tommie, a Seminole Leader with a camp on the new river in Fort Lauderdale in the 1800s; Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” who wintered in Mandarin, Florida; Milly Francis, labeled the Creek Pocahontas for saving the life of a Georgia Militiaman; Princess Marie Antoinette Murat, the great grandniece of George Washington and married to the nephew of Napoleon; women's rights activist Roxcy Bolton, and Zora Neale Hurston, author of “Their Eyes Were Watching God.”

 Equal Visibility Everywhere, the Miami-Dade County Commission for Women and the Kampong of the National Tropical Botanical Garden obtained permission and produced the historical marker honoring Dr. Eleanor Galt Simmons, Miami's first female physician.

Dr. Long has been successful in getting the State of Florida to approve markers for  Aviatrix Amelia Earhart, Seminole Chief Betty Mae Tiger Jumper, Historic Preservationist Barbara Baer Capitman, and Pulitzer Prize Winner Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.
She cooperated with other groups to help erect markers of other noted Floridians including Impresaria Judy Drucker and Preservationist Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

Before 2007, only three of the 650 Official Scenic Markers in New Mexico mentioned women.
In response, the New Mexico State Legislature passed the Historic Women Marker Initiative of 2007.
Ten markers honoring women have been added to the state's collection since 2010 and an additional 25 are expected to bring the total of historic markers to 100.
