A Tuesday [March 19] forum at Mississippi State University will examine varying interpretations of feminism.
Beginning at 7 p.m. in the Colvard Union small auditorium, the 90-minute public program features presentations titled "Faces of Feminism," "Pioneering Feminists," and "French Feminisms in Context."
Mississippi State's chapter of the American Association of University Women, women's studies program and the foreign languages department, along with the Starkville chapter of the National Organization for Women, are sponsors.
Presenters include Jenny Allred of the University of Alabama's women's studies program; Ellen Bryant, first director of the MSU women's studies program and professor emeritus of sociology; and Kitty Delle Robbins-Herring, an MSU associate professor of foreign languages. Linda Cox, director of MSU's Office of Counseling and Testing Services, will moderate.
"We're trying to illustrate that feminism has many interpretations and is not simply a radical stereotype," said Susan L. Hall, associate professor at the MSU Libraries and a member of the women's studies faculty.
