Women's History Month at Emory, March 1993

In March every year, the Emory Women's Center sponsors a wide-ranging celebration of Women's History Month. Attracting nationally recognized keynote speakers such as the Boston Women's Health Collective, Michael Kimmel, Naomi Wolf, Rebecca Walker, Faye Wattleton, Lani Guinier, Wilma Mankiller, Natalie Angier, Carol Moseley Braun, Rachel Simmons, and Helen Thomas.

Women's History Month events at Emory open a window onto women's cultural, intellectual and social lives.

Keynote Speaker: The Boston Women's Health Collective was formed in 1972 as a health education and advocacy organization. Out of their efforts grew the world renown resource, Our Bodies, Ourselves, a voluminous work that discusses birth control, abortion, pregnancy, childbirth, sexuality and other subjects related to women's health.

Members from the Collective gave the Keynote address for Women's History Month at Emory on March 2, 1983 at the WHSCAB Auditorium. Sponsers of the event were Student Programming Council, Emory Women's Center, School of Public Health, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, President's Commission on the Status of Women, University Health Services and Emory Bookstore.
