Politics & Women talk March 30

“Writing Women Back into Politics,” a Women’s History Month brown bag lunch presentation, will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 30 in CMU 203. When we only focus on firsts and figure-heads we lose sight of why equal representation is such an important issue for the U.S. What is a jury of your peers? Who is the best person to engage in a debate on welfare and where tax money is spent? What does gender/sex have to do with it? Women’s Studies Prof. Heather Ehrichs Angell leads the discussion.

Anti-Feminism topic of March 31 talk

“Women Against Women: the Origins of Anti-Feminism” is the topic of a brown bag presentation Wednesday, March 31 talk at 11:30 a.m. in CMU 205. History Professor Paul Harris and MLA graduate student Travis Barrows, will lead the discussion. Men may have led opposition to the women’s suffrage movement, but once the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote, it became clear that many women were also opposed to feminism. The anti-feminist movement among women in the 1920s raises questions of continuing relevance (think Sarah Palin). Click headline to read more.
