Got questions? We have lots of answers.
What is feminism? What does a feminist look like? Are there different types of feminisms? What does it mean to be a feminist? What do feminists do exactly? Do they wear lipstick? Do they shave? Can you be a feminist and want to be married with kids? Has anyone ever called you a feminist in a derogatory tone? Are you a closeted feminist?
Please join us for a presentation by WGS Program Coordinator Heidy González and real discussion about feminism. Free feminist goodies and lunch to all attendees.
