Cocktails & Conversations: Intersectionality in Feminsm

Posted

Though the primary goals of feminism may be common, there are many differences in women’s interests across race, ethnicity, sexuality and class. It became apparent during the 2017 Women’s March that not all women felt welcome. How can feminism avoid promoting only the interests of white middle class and wealthy women? How can women come together, recognizing intersectional differences as a progressive force for social change? This month’s provocative Cocktails & Conversations panel will seek to address these issues. The event includes cash bar and appetizers. $15
