March 4 is the last Women’s Magazine show during this fund drive. We will be speaking with author and scholar Imani Perry about her brand new book, Looking for Lorraine: the radiant and radical life of Lorraine Hansberry, which makes use of recently released papers that fill in much of what’s been hidden about Hansberry’s life, including her Communist party and lesbian writings.
We’ll be offering Perry’s book as a thank you gift for your pledge during this hour, or you can choose from any of the gifts on our website, or you can donate whatever you can at +1-800-439-5732 (HEY-KPFA).
Thanks so much to all of you who have already supported us this year. We love you!
KPFA Women will also be bringing you 18 hours of International Women’s Day programming on Saturday, March 9, from 6:00 am to 12:00 midnight. Live music, interviews, features, speeches by Angela Davis and others, sound from the Women’s Climate Summit. The full schedule is available now on Facebook and on our blog. From 2:00-3:15 pm, I will be curating a show on Socialist Feminism, including a lookback at the first National Socialist Feminist Conference held in 1975 in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
Don’t miss it!
And finally, on Tuesday, March 5, at 6:45 pm we’ll present She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry, Mary Dore’s documentary about the Second Wave women’s movement, at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland. Details.
Thanks so much for all your support, and Happy International Women’s Day.
