The Shoulders We Stand On:
Women as Agents of Change
Louise Bernikow survived the 1980's by writing for leading magazines, acquiring the dubious distinction of appearing simultaneously in MS. Magazine and PLAYBOY. A lapsed academic with degrees from Barnard and Columbia, studies at Oxford and the University of Madrid, she was a founder of Women's Studies programs, of the Columbia Seminar on Women and Society and the Women's Biography group at the CUNY Graduate Center. Louise has taught at several universities, but now has a small "practice" of private writing clients. With a re-invigorated passion for feminism, politics, and women's history, she writes the OURSTORY column for womensenews and consults for Biography.com. Devoted to reaching across generations, she is a popular guest lecturer on campuses and at conferences, touring as a virtual one-woman band with her lecture/slide show--THE SHOULDERS WE STAND ON: WOMEN AS AGENTS OF CHANGE--about American women's activist history. We are thrilled to have Louise bring her 100 image presentation to the museum.
Coming Saturday, Sept 6th, at 2:00 p.m.
This is a DO NOT MISS event!
