RSVP for "Empowering the New Woman" by Joan Moran |
1. WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH 2012: "WOMEN'S EDUCATION - WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT"
“Empowering the New Woman”
Wednesday / March 7, 2012 / 12-1 PM / Avery Library
In the 1970s, Gloria Steinem was the symbol of the women’s movement. It wasn’t so much a movement in those days as a rebellion. Steinem replied to critics of the women’s movement, “People don’t belong to people. I’d never put anyone in a cage.” We’ve come a long way, baby. Today’s women believe that gender does not determine who has more right to be equal. Equal is equal! Injustices forced a level playing field so the question now is: Does full equality always empower women to achieve real success? Joan says “Stand on your head! Be bold! Step out of your comfort zone and turn feminism upside down.” The key to sustaining women’s equality is to create an interdependent , abundant environment. It is no longer viable for women to give their power to people who hold them down in the workplace. Lunch will be provided.
