Mackinnon 307, UofG
Come celebrate IWD (a few days late). Learn about the herstory of IWD and a brief people’s herstory of Revolutionary Women!
Followed by a screening of “SALT OF THE EARTH”

“as clear a piece of Communist propaganda as we have had in many years.” -Sight and Sound review
“a calculated social document.” – New York Times
———–
“the struggle for the complete equality and emancipation of women continues…”
