Women’s Symposium
offers varied events
beginning May 17
Workshops, panel discussions, a concert, an art show,
and a storytelling session highlight the fifth annual Women’s
Symposium, to be held May 17-20 at the University.
The event, bringing together prominent female artists,
musicians, writers, feminists, and others, is sponsored by the
Women's Symposium organization, with Women's Resource
and Referral Service, Women in Transition, YWCA, and a
grant from the Council for Minority Education offering
assistance, according to symposium chairer Marilyn Moore.
Almost all events at the symposium will be free, and
planners have been "trying to bring it into focus by having
speakers" and fewer workshops than in previous years.
Moore says
The event is not a fundraiser, Moore stresses, and should
break even financially
While a final schedule for the symposium will not be
available until next week, most events have been scheduled.
Among the speakers and workshops are: "What do feminist
critics really want” by Sandra Gilbert, Chilean Women: Before
and During Allende, "A Chicana's struggle to success" by
Victoria Wallace, “Update: Reaganomics, Feminism, and
Minority Women” by Denise Carty-Bennia, and storytelling by
Cynthia Orr.
Carty-Bennia. a black lawyer who teaches at the North
eastern Law School in Boston, is the featured speaker at the
symposium
