A virtual talk with Clara Bingham
VIRTUAL | After the event date, watch the talk any time through Library Speakers Consortium
Award-winning journalist and author Clara Bingham discusses her newest book, The Movement: How Women’s Liberation Transformed America, 1963-1973, a comprehensive oral history of the decade that defined the feminist movement. This engaging history traces women’s awakening, organizing, and agitating between 1963 and 1973 when a decentralized collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion: from Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique and the underground abortion network to Shirley Chisholm’s U.S. presidential campaign and Billie Jean King’s 1973 battle of the sexes. Bingham artfully brings to life the emotions of this personal, cultural, and political revolution.
Clara Bingham is an award-winning journalist. A former Washington, DC, correspondent for Newsweek, she lives in Brooklyn, New York.
