In this talk (held Feb. 24, 2021) in the Women Inspire Speaker Series, sociologist Deirdre Oakley reviewed findings about the social trends and the rights of women in Georgia in 1970 and today across multiple dimensions of women’s equality and well-being, including healthcare, family structure, education, employment and elected office. Her findings examined the state’s high maternal mortality rate, educational attainment for women and girls, labor participation, reproductive rights, childcare and the increase of women holding elected office. Dr. Oakley shared policy recommendations that have the potential to improve the health, economic, political and educational outcomes.
