Barbara Yates

This #WomenInHistoryWednesday, we are so excited to celebrate the founder and first director of Women and Gender in Global Perspectives program Barbara A. Yates! Barbara established WGGP through interdisciplinary efforts of the Committee on Women in Development on campus and funding from a Title XII Strengthening Grant of the Foreign Assistance Act. 

The Women in History Wednesday content comes from the Illinois 150 for 150 website celebrating the Accomplishments of Women at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created by the Gender Equity Council and the University Library.
