The Full Story
Why Woodward?
Charlotte Woodward was the only one of the 100 people to sign the Declaration of Sentiments at the
1848 Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention who lived to see passage of the 19th Amendment,
which granted women the right to vote.
At just 19 years old when she traveled to Seneca Falls by wagon with six of her closest friends, Woodward was 91 when that crucial amendment became law.
We are inspired by Woodward—her optimism for a better future, her relentless drive for change,
her instinct to band together with other women (and men!) to make it happen.
And like Woodward, we are determined to create the change we believe in,
and to make it a reality in our lifetime.
Our Team
We are trailblazers from the worlds of startups and multiplatform media, unified by a shared vision:
To unlock financial freedom for women and realize the change we want to see in the world in our lifetime.
