The Election’s Over, and AAUW Needs Your Support More Than Ever
Online book discussion with Linda Hirshman, author of Sisters in Law
105-year-old AAUW member Martha Ann on Women’s rights
Martha Ann has witnessed crucial milestones in women’s equality from women’s right to vote in November 1920 to name of the first woman on the presidential ballot in November 2016. When Miller was entering the workforce in the 1930s, sexism and inequality were prevalent. Throughout Miller’s membership, AAUW has supported equal pay legislation, women in politics, equal representation of both men and women and many more programs.
