Our website has been growing all summer! Lauren Palmor, our amazing intern, has been researching scholars who can help expand The Dinner Party Database.

If you haven’t already, see the continually updated Feminist Art Base, which currently includes more than 125 artist profiles with images, video and audio clips, Feminist Artist Statements, and more.

The Feminist Timeline has also been steadily growing– another amazing intern, Keri Oldham, has been working on new entries to add in the fall!

Thanks to Shelley Bernstein and our designer, Monica Paez, the CFA pages are much sleeker and easier to navigate! We appreciate their hard work!

The bill is named for the plaintiff in the pay discrimination lawsuit earlier decided by the Supreme Court, which said a worker must file a charge of pay discrimination within 180 days of the employer’s first decision to pay someone less for discriminatory reasons. The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, as passed by the House, simply restores the previous interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which says that each paycheck which results from a discriminatory decision is itself a discriminatory act.

Now that Ledbetter has cleared the House, a similar bill will be presented to the Senate. Watch out, though: the White House has already threatened to veto the bill.

Read more about how you can get involved. N.O.W. has a great update on their website, along with information about how you can get involved and let your representatives know what you think.

“Our A Place at the Table celebration on May 19, 2007 at the Brooklyn Museum was a huge success – lots of fun, good turnout, good camaraderie, good spirit. We celebrated Elizabeth A. Sackler and the Brooklyn Museum and Maura Reilly and Melissa Messina for breaking down another barrier to the full appreciation of the contributions of Feminism, Feminist Art and all women artists to our culture. And hey – Feminist Art in a major museum! That’s what we’ve been working towards all these years!” —Susan Grabel, A Place at the Table
