2023 marks a multitude of milestones – among them, 50 years since the founding by Gloria Steinem and other feminists of two iconic organizations, the Ms. Foundation for Women and Ms. Magazine. Join us to hear from feminist leaders, activists, and including New York Magazine’s Irin Carmon, Professor Michele Bratcher Goodwin of Georgetown Law, the Ms. Foundation’s Ruth MacFarlane, and Joanne Smith who leads Girls for Gender Equity, as they engage in a critical conversation about the future of feminism – from storytelling to activism, and journalism to philanthropy – and all it demands: vision that is bold, imaginative, and collaborative.

We will also celebrate the release of the new anthology 50 Years of Ms.: The Best of the Pathfinding Magazine that Ignited a Revolution (Knopf, Sept. 2023) – five decades of the magazine’s most startling, audacious, and norm-breaking pieces. Books will be available for purchase and the talk will be followed by a book signing.

The BWLC’s Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, a contributor to and editor on the book, will give opening remarks. This event is proudly cosponsored by the BWLC.
