Welcome!
As the only national grassroots membership organization to focus solely on issues unique to women as they age, OWL strives to improve the status and quality of life of midlife and older women. OWL is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that accomplishes its work through research, education, and advocacy activities conducted through a chapter network. more...

For years OWL has had the slogan, “Vote as if your life depends on it!” Well, this year this message is even more pertinent, the numbers of uninsured are raising, and as the 2004 Mother’s Day Report pointed out, adults age 55- 64 are more likely than children to lack health insurance. On November 2nd, you will have the opportunity to let Congress and the Administration know how you feel– don’t waste it –because thinking about what could be in store for midlife and older women in the next four years is a frightening thought.
