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:
Naomi Wolf
, the author of bestsellers such as The Beauty Myth and Fire with Fire, is known for her work dealing with a historical overview of how female desire has been understood in different cultures throughout history. She offers a new understanding of female desire for the modern world, one which is both genuinely liberating and deeply ethical.

Wolf spoke as the Keynote Speaker for Women's History Month at Emory on Wednesday, March 27, 1996. She delivered a lecture entitled "Promiscuities: Revisioning Female Desire and a New Sexual Ethic."
