Variant namesBiographical notes:
Founded in 1980, the Mt. Baker Chapter of the Older Women's League comprised an organization of women activists based in Bellingham, Washington.
As a local chapter of the national Older Women's League (OWL) the group worked to increase awareness of issues affecting older women. Through community-level advocacy and support for legislative reform, members sought to remedy shortcomings and inequities in areas including employment and wages for older women, pensions, healthcare and social security. In addition to monthly meetings, chapter activities included fundraising, and attendance at local educational events. The chapter voted to disband in December 1998.
