Congresswoman Dean’s speech was filled with both reflections on the tremendous amount of progress made by trailblazers of the past and a realistic reminder that this country still has a significant amount of work to do to achieve gender equity.

Her words served as both a tribute to those who paved the way and a call to action for the work that still lies ahead!

Having a physical milestone procession felt very necessary for our 50th Anniversary Celebration.

Each milestone was carefully selected to represent the growth WOMEN'S WAY has achieved over half a century and each poster was carried by a community member who had a hand in that achievement.

We know 16 milestones don't begin to tell our whole story. That's where you come in.
Whether it's a quick reflection on how you first connected with us, or a deeper look at the impact WOMEN'S WAY has had on your life, we're continuing to honor our shared history by uplifting your story." we're continuing to honor the legacy of collective action by uplifting your stories.

To celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we invited Speakers Bureau Member and artist Christina Tsan to create this beautiful, informative asset honoring three AANHPI feminists.

"I hope I get to expose a lot of people to these women and their work through this project. I don't feel like they are really known in the mainstream media unless you are already familiar with feminist work," Christina shared.

With her advocacy rooted in Asian American issues and immigrant rights, she has long envisioned using her graphic design skills to create projects that combine her interests in art and social justice.

Christina is just one of many Speakers Bureau Members using a variety of advocacy pathways, such as the arts, to generate awareness about gender inequities and to drive meaningful change.

Just two weeks ago, we held our 50th Anniversary Celebration, and the energy in the room is a feeling none of us can stop talking about!

During the event, attendees heard a moving message from our Chief Disruptor, Diane Cornman-Levy, reminding us that, though we've accomplished 50 years of impact and growth, gender inequities persist, and we can't back down!

As we continue to honor 50 years of impact, we invite you to stay connected to our mission.

What does it mean to steward a legacy?

For Mary Scout, it starts with openness, determination, and a deep commitment to community.

WOMEN'S WAY just celebrated 50 years of impact — and we marked the milestone by honoring a woman who has been part of nearly all of it. In our newest blog, Mary sits down with our Communications team for a candid, cross-generational conversation about her journey with gender equity.

50 years of impact. One extraordinary conversation. Click below to read!

Each member of our community made last Thursday a night to remember!

Our 50th Anniversary Celebration was filled with long-awaited reunions, a commemorative procession, and a powerful reminder that our collective fight for gender equity is just as urgent today as it was when WOMEN’S WAY first began.

What felt like a reunion for some, a celebration of impact for others, and a call to action for all, our biggest fundraiser of the year reminds us of the lasting change we can make when we come together.

Re-live this unforgettable night with our recap video above and stay tuned as we continue to honor 50 years of collective action all year long!
