Women’s History Month

Join us on March 17 at 2:00 as we select a documentary from Kanopy and explore an aspect of feminism to celebrate Women's History Month.  The films we will choose among are:

  • Girls in the Band: a film that tells the poignant, untold stories of female jazz and big band instrumentalists and their fascinating, history-making journeys from the late 30s to the present day. 
  • Pink Ribbons, Inc.:  A film that goes inside the story to reveal those who have co-opted what marketing experts have labeled a "dream cause."
  • Perfect 36: When Women Won the Vote:  A film that explores the last battle in the fight for a woman's right to vote in the United States.
  • Killing Us Softly: A film that explores how advertising traffics in distorted and destructive ideals of femininity. 

Everyone is welcome.
