A graduate of Vassar College, Richards went on to teach chemistry at MIT, where she established its Woman’s Laboratory in 1876.
Knowing firsthand the barriers facing women in science, her women-only lab provided much-needed opportunities for women to study and gain entry into science.
Discouraged by the lack of opportunities available to them, the women discussed how they would join together to help other women attend college and to assist those who had already graduated. And that’s how AAUW was born! 💪
We’re thankful for the women who founded AAUW and helped start a movement for gender equity. Here’s to another 134 years of empowering women and girls!
Our #TheReal10 campaign is calling out the gender pay gap. And the fact that it’s worse for women of color.
The U.S. Treasury has announced that the new $10 bill will have a woman on it. But there’s still a significant pay gap between men and women, and we want more than just symbolic change.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was officially sworn in on November 4th, 2015, gives a very simple answer as to why he decided to have 15 men and 15 women on his cabinet.
We couldn’t agree more with Trudeau. It’s 2015! Women are valuable to the workplace and in leadership. We must continue to open doors and shatter ceilings!
