| Gloria Steinem ’56 is featured in the National Geographic book In Praise of Difficult Women by Karen Karbo, who writes, "Known as the World’s Most Famous Feminist, Gloria has been pushing the women’s lib rock uphill for 55 years. She shows no signs of putting her feet up and getting caught up on her binge-watching." |
Photographer Joan E. Biren, who has documented lesbian life for more than 30 years, is adding images, negatives and contact sheets to the photographs already housed in the Sophia Smith Collection. Her goal for her photographs has always been that they be seen so “they could help build a movement for our liberation.” |
In her four years at Smith, Kendra Bonde ’19 has traveled the world, with study abroad and internships in Peru, India and Spain, but, for her, China made a lasting impression. She says, “China’s history is so long, I feel like it’s something I’ll never reach the end of.” Bonde plans to pursue a doctorate in Chinese history. |

| Mwangi Cultural Center Provides Space to Build Community |
|
| Since it reopened last year after a major renovation, Smith’s Mwangi Cultural Center has emerged as a prime venue for engagement and community building for students of color. “Since renovating Mwangi, the space feels and functions more like a cultural center,” says L’Tanya Richmond, dean of multicultural affairs. “Students of color have been able to find, build and sustain a vibrant community, while also gaining a sense of belonging.” |
