Balancing Acts: A Celebration of American Women

About Legal Momentum

About Legal Momentum

Legal Momentum is fighting for a society in which women's priorities, work and success are valued and deemed central to our nation's priorities, work and success. A society in which:

Women control their own lives and make their own decisions about reproduction, family life and work, and enjoy safety and economic security throughout their lives.

Women define their own goals and success and enjoy full civil rights.

Women participate equally in the responsibilities and rewards of all aspects of the nation's governance, economic activity, social and cultural institutions, and family.

Women are respected, not marginalized as a fringe group or a special interest group.

Legal Momentum advances the rights of women and girls by using the power of the law and creating innovative public policy. Every day, we champion causes that concern American women, enabling them to lead more balanced, fair and equal lives at home, at work and in their communities.
