Our work builds upon progressive ideals put forth by such leaders as Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King. We draw from the great social movements of the 20th century—from labor rights and worker safety, to civil rights and women's suffrage. We translate those values into new ideas and action firmly rooted in the economic and political realities of the 21st century."

Center
for Women and Information Technology
"Internet Gender
Gap Closing," a March 2000 headline proclaims. While the increase
in female Internet users is certainly good news, the headline masks
some troubling aspects of women's involvement with information technology
(IT). Women are still seriously under-represented as developers of
IT, and they are often not well served as IT users. The
Center for Women and Information Technology, established at the University
of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) in July, 1998, seeks to address
and rectify the above-mentioned problems and to enhance our understanding
of the relationship between gender and IT.

Girls on Tour
Guerrilla Girls On Tour is an internationally acclaimed anonymous theatre collective founded by three former members of Guerrilla Girls.

GGOT creates original plays, street actions, visual work and residency programs that dramatize women’s history and advocate on behalf of women and artists of color in the performing arts. In order to put the focus of their work on the issues they address, each member works under the name of a dead woman artist and performs wearing a gorilla mask.
