Women's Educational Equity Act
- Women's Educational Equity Act
The Women's Educational Equity Act (WEAA) is one of the several landmark laws passed by the United States Congress outlining federal protections against the gender discrimination of women in education. WEAA was enacted as part of P.L. 93-380. Introduced in the United States House of Representatives by Congresswoman Patsy Mink of Hawaiokinai, the legislation was conceived and drafted by Arlene Horowitz, a staff assistant to the education subcommittee on which Rep. Mink served. WEEA was intended to combat sex-role stereotyping in elementary and secondary schools primarily.
