WHM Film Series: Venus Boyz
Join us for a screening and discussion of the film “Venus Boyz,” directed by Gabrielle Baur. This film takes an intimate look into the real world of drag kings – women exploring their masculinity. Club Casanova, home of the legendary Drag King Night in New York, is the point of departure for an exploration of a world that questions exactly how gender works, and should work, in modern society.
MAR. 10 11am-12:15pm, LH 104
WHM Film Series: Chisholm ’72: Unbought and Unbossed

“Women Have Always Worked” – Rethinking U.S. Labor History
The work performed by women in the U.S., both paid and unpaid, has a complicated narrative, one deeply affected by law, war, women’s family roles, discrimination, the changing economy, technology, and their own choices. And it is a continuing story, with surprising twists.
