Keynote
Speaker: Faye Wattleton, a revolutionary woman extraordinaire,
was the keynote speaker for Women's History Month at Emory 1998. Ms.
Wattleton has a distinguished career of service and advocacy for women's
health issues, including her 14 year term as the president of the Planned
Parenthood Federation of America. As the first African American woman
to head the PPFA, she worked on the forefront of some of the most important
issues of our time--including those involving children and families,
civil rights, women's rights and health care. Wattleton continues to
advocate on behalf of women today and recently established the Center
for Gender Equality, a think tank focusing on women's issues. Her memoir,
Life on the Life, was published in 1996.
