International Women's Day & The Struggle for Women's Liberation Today
Tuesday, March 8 • 6:00pm - 9:00pm
UIC Student Center East • 750 S Halsted St., Room 605 (in the Tower) • Chicago, IL
International Women's Day is an important holiday that started as a way to honor working women and their struggle for freedom. This year, the International Socialist Club, in partnership with several campus organizations, will be celebrating that legacy by hosting Sharon Smith, Chicago-based activist and author of Women & Socialism: Essays on Women's Liberation. The lecture will discuss the history of International Women's Day, ...as well as explore the currrent state of the movement for liberation--including the fight against the ongoing assaults to abortion and reproductive rights; violence against women; sexism in culture; and workplace and labor issues. The event will also include Q & A and discussion time about what we can do today to build a new fight for equality and freedom. We hope you will join us to revive the true spirit of International Women's Day at this event!
