Women's Network
The Anne Pederson Women's Resource Center recognizes the need for women to find connections in life, career, and education. The Center provides a forum to connect women and gives them connections to launch their own careers and educational pursuits.
Augsburg's Women's Story Archive
The Anne Pederson Women's Resource Center is compiling the Augsburg Women's Story Archive consisting of a series of interviews with Augsburg women. This archive will enable women to become interconnected with students, faculty, staff, and alumni who have come before them. Eventually, this archive will be linked online from the Center's home page so that Students may access it via the Internet.

February 25th: SAY MY NAME
"Sisters, mothers, businesswomen, role models, music artists—in an industry dominated by men and noted for misogyny, the unstoppable female lyricists of SAY MY NAME speak candidly about class, race, and gender in pursuing their passions as female MCs. From hip hop’s birthplace in the Bronx to the ladies of grime on London’s eastside, emerging artists to world renowned stars like MC Lyte, Monie Love, Roxanne Shanté, Estelle, Erykah Badu and many more, these are women turning adversity into art."
March 2, Sateren, 7-10pm (Part of the Native American Film Series): Augsburg's Native American Film Series brings us "Tracey Deer presents: CLUB NATIVE".
Hosted by professor and documentary filmmaker Jennifer Machiorlatti. This documentary "raises critical questions about belonging and idigenity, the heartbreak of 'marrying out' of the Mohawk Nation, and the unjust patriarchal laws that disenfranchise Native women. It is a candid and engrossing work about the pain, confusion, and frustration suffered by many First Nations women, but also a testament to the triumph of love and the resilience of the human spirit."
April 8: TEA & JUSTICE
"chronicles the experiences of three women who joined the New York Police Department during the 1980s—the first Asian women to become members of a force that was largely white and predominantly male."
