Ellen Bravo

Ellen Bravo was born in Cleveland but has lived in Wisconsin long enough to be a diehard Green Bay Packers fan and say “c’mere once” and “you bet.” A lifelong activist, she is the former director of 9to5 (the group that inspired the movie) and current head of Family Values @ Work, a network of state coalitions working for family-friendly policies. She is the award-winning writer of three nonfiction books, the most recent being Taking on the Big Boys, or Why Feminism is Good for Families, Business and the Nation. Bravo lives in Milwaukee with her husband; they have two adult sons.
