Draper, Lucy Hargrett,

Lucy Hargrett Draper has had a long and deep interest in the first women's rights movement (1848-1920). This interest has inspired Draper's own efforts to bring about change in the United States to ensure greater opportunities and equality for American women. Former president of the Women's Equity Action League (WEAL), she was involved in the second wave of the women's rights movement as an activist, organizer, and officer in organizations focused on the economic, educational and legal equality of women. Draper holds advanced degrees in education, history and law, and has been an active member of the Georgia Women's Movement Project -- a joint venture of Georgia State University's Women's Studies Institute and Special Collections Department.
