Women, Politics & the Double-Bind

Join the WMC and Politics club for an evening of sipping on your favorite evening beverage while discussing the various challenges women uniquely face in the "double-bind". We will kick off with a short presentation aimed to educate attendees about the history of women in US politics. After that, members of the WMC and Politics club will moderate a discussion posing open-ended questions to the audience.

ALL members of the Johnson community are invited to attend. We look forward to hearing your stories, personal experiences and thoughts on this subject.

Please find below a few resources for those who want to watch/listen/read before our discussion:
