This event is free and open to the public. Map and Directions

In her talk, Estes Blair will examine the ways in which the feminist movement of the 1970s spread in cities that were far from the movement’s intellectual center. Blair uncovers the ways in which women of many races, from across the partisan political spectrum, came to embrace the movement’s ideals of equality for women and worked to implement those ideas in their communities.

This event is sponsored by the Committee on Assemblies and Special Events (CASE), the Office of Student Life, and the Women’s Studies program.
