Marjorie Stockford is a writer and consultant focused on advancing women into leadership positions in American society. She began her professional career in 1978 when she was hired by AT&T as a result of its landmark sex discrimination settlement with the US Government. She subsequently held a series of management and executive positions in corporate telecommunications at Bank of Boston, Honeywell and Dun & Bradstreet.
At the end of 1990, Stockford left corporate America to focus on women’s issues. She researched and wrote her 1992 graduate school thesis on the role of professional women in the political process, she served as an Assistant Executive Director for the YWCA of the U.S.A. in New York City, she wrote bi-weekly essays about women’s competence for her own (now retired) website, 100% Human, and she has written a book, The Bellwomen, about the little-known 1973 landmark sex discrimination settlement between AT&T and the U.S. Government from which she benefited.
Stockford has written essays that have been published in the Maine Times and the Portland Press Herald and been broadcast on Maine Public Radio. She holds an industrial engineering degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, an MBA from New York University and a Masters degree in Public Administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Stockford lives in Arlington, Massachusetts with her family.
