Description

The Older Women's League (OWL), founded in 1980, educates the public on issues affecting midlife and older women. Nationally, and through its local chapters, OWL seeks to influence public policy on the issues of health care, social security reform, pension rights for women, caregiving, job discrimination, housing and control to the end of life. Local and national activities are directed at improving the economic situation of older women and alleviating economic inequalities built into public policy.
