Legal Momentum

History

The nation's first and longest-running legal defense and education fund for women, we were co-founded by Muriel Fox and other acclaimed gender equality leaders who built a pioneering Board of Directors that included inaugural members like Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique.

Vision

Our vision is for all women and girls to realize their full potential. With a mission focused on ensuring economic and personal security for all women and girls by advancing equity in education, the workplace, and the courts, we provide an expert legal voice to seek justice for women. Our five areas of legal impact are how we work to achieve this mission.
