We are proud to be able to showcase these remarkable women who do not receive the attention they deserve. The cost is $5. Register for the event here. Who are the women we will discuss?
Katharine McCormick
Born wealthy and married to an even wealthier man, Katharine McCormick spent her life dedicated to gaining voting and reproductive rights for women. We’ve blogged about her here.
Mitsuye Endo
Mitsuye Endo became a symbol of the unjust and illegal incarceration of Americans of Japanese descent during WWII. We’ve blogged about her here.
Faith Ringgold
Faith Ringgold has spent her entire career claiming legitimacy among the iconic (white, male) artists of Western art, showing us a new perspective that engenders a new appreciation of art. We’ve blogged about her here.
Fannie Lou Hamer
Born poor and Black in Sunflower County, Mississippi, Fannie Lou Hamer spent her life working for equal voting rights for her fellow Black Americans. We’ve blogged about her here.
We hope your time zone will allow you to hear about 4 Women : 4 Stories. Thanks!
