The PPNYC Activist Council, in collaboration with Living Liberally, invites you to
Body Politic 09: Voices on Feminism
6-7pm: Happy Hour
7-9pm: A Conversation with Gloria Feldt, Lynn Harris, and Jessica Valenti
Join three of New York City’s leading feminist voices, women’s rights activists and influential writers as they discuss what feminism means to them. Find out how their respective generations have helped shape feminism today – and their perspectives on where feminism is headed next.
Gloria Feldt is a leading feminist activist and author of The War on Choice, Behind Every Choice Is a Story and the New York times best seller, Send Yourself Roses. Her commentary appears on The Daily Beast, Truthout, RHRealityCheck, the Huffington Post, Women's eNews, and many others in addition to her own website, GloriaFeldt.com and its blogs that reflect her passions: Heartfeldt Politics, Courageous Leadership, and Powered Women.
Lynn Harris is an author, essayist, commentator, mostly-retired comedian, and award-winning journalist. She writes about pop culture, politics, gender, relationships, religion, and disability, sometimes all at once. Her most recent book is the satirical novel Death By Chick Lit, whose prequel, Miss Media, was hailed by New York Magazine as a "sharp, smart satire."
Jessica Valenti is a feminist writer, blogger, the founder and editor of Feministing.com, and the author of three books: Full Frontal Feminism: A Young Woman’s Guide to Why Feminism Matters, He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut?and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know, and The Purity Myth: How America’s Obsession with Virginity is Hurting Young Women. She is a co-editor of the anthology Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape.
