This site was created as a project for a Movements for Social Justice class at Bryn Mawr College. We intended to convey what we imagine a national NOW webpage would have looked like in 1970. We have no affiliation with the National Organization for Women.
If you’d like information about the real NOW, you can visit them at www.now.org. Connect with their facebook here or follow NOW on Twitter.
The information, pictures, and news articles used for this webpage came from the following resources:
