Gloria Steinem is speaking here at Duke on April 15th and I planned to go with a friend but she delayed a day in reserving the tickets and they are all sold out. I was stunned as the venue is pretty large and I honestly did not think there would be that much interest.

I am very disappointed but I have seen her several times and it was going to be a trip down memory lane for me but I am also excited because just two years ago an acquaintance who was teaching a course in the Women's Studies department told me she was very disheartened by the students because they all refer to feminism as The Other F Word. I guess the War on Reproductive Rights has finally gotten their attention.
