Intergenerational Feminism: A Dialogue
October 7 2009 at 7 p.m.The Roschel Performing Arts Center
Lecture by author Ariel Levy and award-winning novelist and poet Robin Morgan.
Ariel Levy is a contributing writer for The New Yorker and author of Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture.
After graduating from Wesleyan University, Levy worked for Planned Parenthood, but says she was fired after a week because she was “an extremely poor typist.” Shortly after her dismissal she was hired by New York magazine (as a typist) and, in 2008, joined The New Yorker.
She has appeared on National Public Radio’s Fresh Air, ABC’s Oprah and Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report.
Veteran feminist Robin Morgan is an award-winning poet, novelist and journalist who has published 20 books, including the anthologies Sisterhood Is Powerful and Sisterhood Is Global.
Morgan is founder of The Sisterhood Is Global Institute and co-founder of The Women’s Media Center. In 1990, as editor-in-chief of Ms., she relaunched the magazine as an international, award-winning, ad-free bimonthly, resigning in late 1993 to become consulting global editor. Among her many honors is a National Endowment for the Arts Prize in poetry.
This event is sponsored by the Alice Drum Women’s Center, CLAS, Philadelphia Alumni Writers House and the Coeducation Planning Committee.
This event is part of the College’s celebration of 40 years of coeducation.

I am a big fan of both of these women. I discovered Robin Morgan in 8th or 9th grade and still have a dogeared copy of Sisterhood is Powerful somewhere. I read The New Yorker everyweek so I am excited to go to this talk. I may even geek out and ask Ariel to sign my THE NEW YORKER baseball cap. :)
