This four-week series in August is for women who want to understand the basic truths of our lives, how we are held back on the job, in the classroom, and in the home; how a feminist movement was organized to change it; how we can learn to build the kind of movement that can put male chauvinists on the run again, and how each woman can contribute to that effort. The class will teach the radical ideas and methods that sparked the rebirth of the feminist movement in the 1960s.  It is open to women only.

You will begin to learn about the heroic struggle women have waged, individually and collectively, for our survival and our freedom; the political causes of the unhappiness in our daily lives; women’s progress owing to the feminist movement; and how to use this information to change conditions for women.

The series is a combination of lecture, class discussion of assigned reading, and consciousness-raising.

This series is not about personal liberation through improved self-esteem or an alternative women’s culture.  It is not about how feminism can save the planet, nor is it about achieving status in the present corrupt system through individual self-improvement or lifestyle changes.

Orientations will be from 7 – 9:30pm on Tuesdays, August 3, 10, 17, & 24^th
