Studies measuring quality of life indicators place Louisiana in poor ranking with other states. A
great deal of attention is paid to political action, planning issues, public health, and economic

Women for a Better Louisiana, this essay highlights some of these dedicated women and
demonstrates how citizen participation can reap big results for the benefit of all.
