Ferris Olin of Princeton is among the recipients of the 2008 Equality Awards announced recently by the Alice Paul Institute.

The awards honor individuals who have demonstrated “a strong and long-standing commitment to advancing women’s equality in New Jersey and the Delaware Valley through advocacy, litigation, business leadership, education, scholarship, or artistic expression,” according to M. Elaine Jacoby, chair of the Alice Paul Equality Awards Committee.

Ms. Olin is an art historian, librarian, and the director of the Institute for Women and Art at Rutgers University. She is the founding head of the Margery Somers Foster Center, a resource center and digital archive on women, scholarship and leadership at the Mabel Smith Douglass Library at Rutgers. Ms. Olin also coordinates The Feminist Art Project, a national collaborative initiative that focuses on the aesthetic, intellectual and political impact of women on the visual arts, art history, and art practice, past and present. As curator of the Mary H. Dana Women Artist Series at the Douglass Library, she has been responsible for bringing the work of many women artists to the public.

The Alice Paul Equality Awards are named in memory of New Jersey suffragist Alice Stokes Paul (1885-1977). The Alice Paul Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about her life and work, and to preserve Paulsdale, her Mt. Laurel birthplace and family home, which is a National Historic Landmark and serves as a center for celebrating women’s history and leadership. API was founded in 1985 and today has a membership of over 400 individuals and organizations.

The award will be presented at a dinner on Wednesday, April 30, at the Hyatt Regency. A reception begins at 6 p.m. and dinner is at 7. Other award winners this year include Kirsten Branigan of Nutley, Roberta Francis of Chatham, and Lendel Jones of Cinnaminson.
