The Movement: How Women's Liberation Transformed America
- Monday, September 30, 2024
- $35 (Members $25)
Event Details:
If the idea that a woman's place is at home seems utterly absurd in America today, it's in great part thanks to the women's liberation movement of the early 1960s and '70s, when trailblazers like Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, and Billie Jean King insisted that women be treated as equals to men and allowed to actively participate in American society. In this conversation with 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, author Clara Bingham takes a deep dive into this vital period in the battle for women's rights to show how the women fighting on the front lines brought us to where we are today.
Clara Bingham is an award-winning journalist, former Newsweek correspondent, and author of several books, including Witness to the Revolution and The Movement: How Women's Liberation Transformed America, 1963-1973. Lesley Stahl (moderator) is a correspondent for 60 Minutes and a former CBS News White House correspondent.
