Breaking into the boys’ club: “Year of the Woman”

Happy first day of Women’s History Month!  You can celebrate by attending the screening of “Year of the Woman” tomorrow night:

Tuesday, March 2, 7:30 pm, James M. Stewart ’32 Theater, 185 Nassau St

Sandra Hochman’ s raucous, electrifying and often quite moving documentary of the 1972 Democratic National Convention shows the raw emotion unleashed when a group of angry, organized and skilled women made inroads into the boys’ club of national politics. Thirty five years before Barack Obama entered the race, black Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm ran for president, and that’s only the beginning of this story…

The director, Sandra Hochman, will introduce and discuss the film. Co-sponsored by the Lewis Center for the Arts  and the Program in the Study of Women and Gender, this event is free and open to the public.

We’ll see you there!
