The Golden State Warriors have some amazing and strong women that support and elevate them.

As a country, we’ve made strides in women’s rights over the last few decades. There’s still a lot of work to do especially in the sports world and how men treat them. It’s important to recognize and elevate those brave women who are breaking down boundaries.

Draymond Green, NBA and WNBA stars, and San Antonio Assistant Coach Becky Hammon have all come together to work with an organization called “Lean In.” The goal is to inspire women to educate themselves and grow in the workplace and society in general. The league launched #LeanInTogether, which points out the responsibility men have to support the women in their lives.

Far too often we see women being talked about in terms of how they relate to men. The Chicago Tribune came under fire during the Olympics when they tweeted out a headline in which they referred to a Bronze medalist as the “wife of a Bears’ lineman.” While it’s clear that they wanted to make her accomplishments relevant to their city and demographic, it was in poor taste. There are other ways to do it. She has a name.

It’s situations like that Tweet that make it so important to emphasize the great work women do. As men, we need to champion women. It’s up to us to stand up for injustices because they impact us all. Women’s rights are human rights.

In light of all of the disgusting rhetoric surrounding the Presidential election and the horrific mishandling and incompetence of a billion dollar organization following vile revelations, we felt it was important to highlight some special women. We wanted to look at some incredibly talented and hardworking individuals that either work for the Warriors’ organization or are a part of DubNation.

Let’s look at some of the amazing women behind the Warriors.
