PART I. "Herstory Torn Asunder: Witch-hunts, Heresy and Human Rights"

Audio excerpts from"The Feminist Lens",

– as dramatized in music, film, and theater.
With Author Sara Paretsky. Film historian Milos Stehlik.
Music by Anne Hills.
AND a scene from Caryl Churchill's feminist
play "Vinegar Tom", performed by Joyce Piven and Maya Friedler.

PART II. In "Building A History"
Dr. Elizabeth Myers talks about the importance of building a
women's archive, efforts to document Chicago's Second Wave Feminists
and shows examples on hand.

Guests see the rich resource that is the Women & Leadership Archives,

and an architectural gem on the University's Lake Shore Campus.

Don't Miss this great event!

Women's Media Develops New Project/New Name

Women's Media Group started the new year with a fresh effort -
reshaping our feminist panel discussion/radio show toward a 30 minute magazine format.
Working with Cat Jarboe, our audio producer, Maya (Friedler) and
I created The Feminist Lens first on paper - and then started recording.
This is exciting. More soon.
