Division Description

The Division of Women’s Issues, DOWI, is part of the New York State Psychological Association, which represents the professional and political concerns of psychologists in New York State.

DOWI was founded in 1983 in order to provide a forum for the professional, political, and personal interests of women psychologists and others concerned with women’s issues. 

We are an open group representing all of the fields of psychology. We make special efforts to include psychologists and psychology graduate students of different ethnicities, life styles, and professional fields, in order to create a stimulating diverse group spirit.

As women have made gains in the workplace and in achieving equal rights in our society, we broaden our focus on women’s concerns from access and equity to such issues as social justice, work-family balance, and leadership. Together, we can advance women’s issues in New York!
