Fostering a campus climate that promotes equity and enriches the lives of all members of the University community
Welcome to the Northwestern Women’s Center.
We are committed to gender equity and inclusion at Northwestern University. Our center serves as a space for support, community, advocacy, and affirmation for all those affected by gender oppression.
We support all women, trans, non-binary and gender-expansive students, faculty, and staff
What's happening at the Women's Center
A self-guided campus tour celebrates the achievements of women — and those who face gender oppression — all year round.
Northwestern’s Women’s Center began to develop its Feminist Campus Tour during the pandemic to allow community members to experience the University’s history as told by feminist voices.
Women’s Center Director Sarah Brown said the tour combines feminist history as well as stories of the present day, which are not often highlighted.
“There are many people who have been influential women, nonbinary and trans folks on this campus, whose histories deserve to be celebrated,” Brown said.
“We see it as a topic for the Women’s Center because of the disproportionate role women continue to take in formal and informal care,” Brown said. “But also, because hyper-competitive, patriarchal culture is ableist culture. It’s feminist for us to challenge the notion that we should be judged within narrow and biased definitions of productivity.”
