Dr. Heidi Hartmann, President of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR), will testify at a hearing of the US Congress Joint Economic Committee to be held at 10:00am on Wednesday, September 30th. The hearing, entitled “Women and the Economy,” will be held in the Cannon House Office Building, Room 210.

The Committee will examine evidence on how women are faring economically, how the recession is affecting women, and public policy issues of particular concern to women — including health insurance reform, retirement security, and workplace flexibility initiatives.
