Marcia D. Greenberger is an Americanwomen's rights attorney.[1]
She received her B.A. with honors and J.D. cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, and then worked as a lawyer with the Washington, D.C., firm of Caplin and Drysdale.[2] She co-founded theNational Women's Law Center in 1981 withNancy Duff Campbell, where they served as co-presidents until 2017 when both retired.[3][2][4] TheNational Women's Law Center was founded by them to fight for gender equality in economic security, education, health, and jobs.[4] It began when female administrative staff and law students at theCenter for Law and Social Policy demanded that their pay be improved, that the center hire female lawyers, that they no longer be expected to serve coffee, and that the center create a women's program.[5] Greenberger was hired in 1972 to start the program and Campbell joined her in 1978.[5] In 1981, the two decided to turn the program into the separate National Women's Law Center.[5][6]
In 2015 Greenberger was inducted into theNational Women's Hall of Fame.[7]
