Author and Activist Gloria Steinem on campus!

Writer and activist Gloria Steinem kicks off MTSU’s celebration of National Women’s History Month.

On Tuesday, March 2 she will deliver the keynote address at 4:30 p.m. in the Tennessee Room of the James Union Building. (the lecture is free and open to the public. Call the June Anderson Women’s Center at 615-898-2193 for more info).


Steinem, co-founder of Ms. magazine, also helped to found the Women’s Action Alliance, a national organization dedicated to nonsexist, multiracial children’s education, and the National Women’s Political Caucus, a group that strives to increase the numbers of pro-equality women in elected and appointed offices at all levels of government. A 1956 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Smith College, Steinem is collaborating with her alma mater’s Sophia Smith Collection on a project to document the grass roots origins of the U.S. women’s movement.
