. . . to the Chicago chapter of the National Organization for Women. We are dedicated to furthering feminist issues for the women of Chicago---including employment, sexual harassment, pay equity, childcare, healthcare, sexual violence, and educational issues. We pride ourselves on being part of 'the city that works,' a city with a long history of activism.

Our intention is to make a difference in the lives of the women in our city by dedicating ourselves to several key projects each year, and through community outreach and political activities.

Educating and empowering the women of Chicago is the mission of our all volunteer staff.

We welcome your feedback and participation!
