RESHAPING THE NARRATIVE: THE MYTH OF THE ORIGINS OF THE US WOMEN’S RIGHTS MOVEMENT

Our third Virtual Class Event,  was held on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, from 4-5 pm  Eastern time.

 
We were taught that Seneca Falls is where the women’s movement was launched. How has that origin myth impacted the movement today? How do we reframe the history and focus on building much needed alliances and coalitions?
Nationally noted scholar, writer and Smith College Professor Emerita, Paula Giddings, addressed the intersectionality of race and gender and its impact on this important movement in American history.
