rdf:langString The Sarah Doyle Center for Women and Gender (SDCWG), formerly the Sarah Doyle Women's Center, is a center at Brown University, which "seeks to provide a comfortable, yet challenging place for students, faculty, and staff to examine the multitude of issues around gender". It was named in honor of the prominent Rhode Island educator, Sarah Doyle. The SDCWG was established in 1974 as the Sarah Doyle Women's Center at the Sarah Doyle house at 185 Meeting Street. It moved to 26 Benevolent Street in 2001 to make way for construction of the Sidney E. Frank Hall for Life Sciences. The SDCWG offers services and programs, and meeting space for university and community groups. The SDCWG houses an art gallery, an extensive library and resource center, a zine collection, and a student lounge. It is affiliated with the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women.
