Why does WELL Network focus on women leaders as members and spokespersons?
Throughout American history, women have been a force for social change. Whether it was fighting for the right to vote or against child labor abuses, promoting better working conditions, or protesting war, women have led demands for justice and reform. Many of these women had wealth, education, and influence. They used these advantages to benefit people overlooked by those in power. The women of WELL Network maintain this tradition of social responsibility.
