Rawalt Research Center

Rawalt Research Center

The Marguerite Rawalt Research Center (also known as the Rawalt Online Resource Center) is one of the USA's leading clearinghouses for information on working women. The Center is maintained by the BPW Foundation which is part of Business and Professional Women (BPW/USA) in Washington, D.C. First dedicated in 1980, the online adaptation of the vast library continues to make one of the world’s largest collections of information about women and their work more accessible and easier to use.

The Resource Center was named for Dr. Marguerite Rawalt, president of BPW/USA from 1954 to 1956, who was both a successful attorney and longtime champion of women’s rights. Among her many accomplishments was the incorporation of the first national foundation dedicated to serving business and professional women around the world.
