Her title will be Vice President, Legal. Cohen joined the NWP Board of Directors in 2015.Formed in 1916 by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, the National Woman’s Party was a key organization in the fight for women’s suffrage, which resulted in the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920. Today, based at the Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., the group produces educational programs, tours, exhibits, research and publications that explore the evolving role of women and their contributions to society. The National Monument houses an extensive collection of suffrage banners, archives and artifacts documenting the continuing effort by women and men of all races, religions and backgrounds to win voting rights and equality for women under the law.
“It's a privilege to serve on the Board and now, the Executive Committee of the National Woman's Party,” said Michelle Cohen. “I'm proud to associate myself with an organization with such history and whose founders literally went to jail to secure my right to vote and that of all American women. The issues of women's advancement, pay equity, and representation on boards and across industries are causes for which I have advocated for years. I look forward to helping the NWP continue its mission in empowering all women through voting rights.”
