Discussion: WOMEN'S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM DEEPENS REVOLUTION

Monday, March 14, 2011 - 6:30pm

News & Letters Library
228 S. Wabash Ave., Room 230
Chicago, IL 60604

On International Women's Day, March 8, hundreds of Egyptian women demonstrated in Tahrir Square for their freedom.  They were attacked by a mob of men who beat and groped them, yelling at them that they should be home cooking and cleaning. What has to be realized is that women's struggle for freedom deepens revolution, it is not a diversion from it.

This meeting will take up what transpired this year in the U.S. and internationally on International Women's Day, as well as the struggle in the U.S. for reproductive justice and the lack of solidarity shown to this struggle by the Left.

SPEAKER: Terry Moon, "Woman as Reason Columnist" for News & Letters, activist in the Women's Liberation Movement since 1967
