About Us

The Women's Law Center (WLC) was established in 1971 to meet the legal needs of women, especially in the area of family law and in the workplace. Through impact litigation and public education, WLC founders hoped to eliminate discrimination and unfair practices.

Today, our mission has broadened to include concerns for the legal rights of women and children. Our membership includes men and women from all walks of life--lawyers and non-lawyers, business executives, elected officials, policy makers, artists, journalists, students, engineers, homemakers, health care professionals--people like you. Together, we break down barriers to equal participation and promote equal rights for women and children.
