Feminism for the Americas: The Making of an International Human Rights Movement

William G. McGowan Theater
Washington, DC

听

In her book听Feminism for the Americas, professor Katherine M. Marino chronicles the dawn of the global movement for feminism and women鈥檚 rights in the first decades of the 20th century. She introduces us to a cast of remarkable Pan-American women who drove a transnational movement that advocated women鈥檚 suffrage, equal pay, maternity rights, and broader self-determination. These efforts led to the enshrinement of women鈥檚 rights in the United Nations Charter and the framework for international human rights. A book signing follows the program.

Rightfully Hers, a new exhibit to mark the centennial of the 19th Amendment, will open later this year at the 威尼斯人娱乐场.

Rightfully Hers is made possible in part by the 威尼斯人娱乐场 Foundation through the generous support of Unilever, Pivotal Ventures, Carl M. Freeman Foundation in honor of Virginia Allen Freeman, AARP, AT&T, Ford Motor Company Fund, Facebook, Barbara Lee Family Foundation Fund at the Boston Foundation, Google, HISTORY 庐, and Jacqueline B. Mars. 听
