The Organization for Equal Education of the Sexes (OEES) was an American non-profit organization from Brooklyn, New York.
Background & Content
[edit]Founded in 1978 by Lucy Picco Simpson, OEES was established to support equity in education.[1] The organization was a vast source of multicultural, nonsexist, bias-free and educational posters. They also published a journal for teachers, students, and feminist activists.[2]
OEES promoted positive images of women from different races and ethnic groups achieving and excelling in various fields. Simpson wanted to contribute to the feminist movement by visualizing women making choices, taking action, facing challenges, and overcoming obstacles.[3]
Apart from their "Women of Achievement" posters, OEES also issued poster series that dealt with non-traditional careers and dropout prevention. Each of their posters were accompanied by either a biography, a lesson aid, or a short article. All of their posters were 11" x 17" in size and most were printed in two colors.[4]
OEES also notably published TABS: Aids for Ending Sexism in School, a quarterly magazine that was devoted to the presentation of “nonsexist teaching techniques and resources.”[5] Some subjects that TABS covered include the struggles of freedom fighter Fannie Lou Hamer, the scientific discoveries of Marie Curie, and the contributions Asian American women to U.S. Culture.[6]
