Former Vermont governor Madeleine Kunin will visit The Galaxy Bookshop on Tuesday, May 15 to discuss her latest book, The New Feminist Agenda.
Feminists opened up thousands of doors in the 1960s and 1970s, but decades later, are U.S. women where they thought they'd be? The answer, it turns out, is a resounding no. In fact, the nation has fallen far behind other parts of the world on the gender-equity front. It's time, says Governor Kunin, to change all that. Looking back over five decades of advocacy, she analyzes where progress stalled, looks at the successes of other countries, and charts the course for the next feminist revolution—one that mobilizes women, and men, to call for the kind of government and workplace policies that can improve the lives of women and strengthen their families.
