Join journalist and author Clara Bingham for a virtual discussion on her latest book, The Movement: How Women’s Liberation Transformed America, 1963-1973. Through first-hand accounts, the book explores the voices of both well-known figures and lesser-known activists who helped shape the feminist movement.
Bingham highlights major moments, including Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, Shirley Chisholm’s presidential campaign, the underground abortion network called the Janes, and Billie Jean King’s 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match. The book examines how these events and individuals contributed to the fight for equal rights and changed American society.
This virtual author talk will take place on March 20 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
