MOUNT VERNON, VA, December 18, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mary V. Thompson, research historian emerita for the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, was selected by Marquis Who's Who for a prominent feature in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal, published on March 20, 2025.

Ms. Thompson has been a respected listee with Marquis Who's Who since July 2024. Her dedication and service to her industry led to her induction into the registry with premier status, which included prominent placement in Marquis' flagship registry, Who's Who in America. Shortly thereafter, she was recognized among Who's Who of Professional Women, with an executive first-chapter spotlight, and she received the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award, which included a chapter in the associated print series, A Lifetime of Achievement.

Ms. Thompson's biographical narrative has been published in the 18th Edition Marquis Millennium Magazine, with a cover feature, and she was a Spotlight listee in September 2025 — one of only a select few to receive such recognition that month. Marquis Who's Who is privileged to share Ms. Thompson's designation as a Distinguished Leader with a group of her peers in The Wall Street Journal.

Partnered with The Wall Street Journal since 2018, Marquis hand-selects the most accomplished and upstanding listees from its roster to highlight in the Journal. Of 1.6 million listees, only a small percentage are recognized with the Distinguished Leaders honor. We laud Ms. Thompson for her ambition, professional fortitude, industry contributions and career accomplishments, and congratulate her on her presence in one of America's most well-recognized publications. The Eastern Edition of the Journal includes an approximate circulation of 241,228. Marquis is proud to have facilitated Ms. Thompson with a unique and impactful opportunity to share her honor.

Marquis Who's Who looks forward to continuing to represent Ms. Thompson and sharing her experience and achievements with a global audience. Please click here to view Ms. Thompson's page in The Wall Street Journal.
