Biography/Profile
The Margaret Sloss Women's Center was established in 1981 to provide a centralized home for women's organizations and to promote and sustain women through advocacy, programs, and information and referral services. The Women's Center offers support and referrals to individuals who are experiencing discrimination, sexual harassment, abuse or just need someone to listen. The Center is located in the Sloss House, which was named for Thomas Sloss, former superintendent of buildings, grounds, and construction at Iowa State College (University). The house provides meeting rooms for groups and organizations to hold discussions, forums, and meetings. It is also a space for women to meet, network, study, watch television, and relax. The Center is named in honor of Margaret Wragg Sloss, the first woman to receive a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (1938) from Iowa State University.
