SUMMARY:"50 Years of Ms. Magazine" A Performance/Reading and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:The book “50 Years of Ms. Magazine” came out in 2023. For this curated stage reading\, five readers (all poets\, playwrights\, and directors) will read select pieces from selected articles in the book\, stretching back to 1972.  \nMs. Magazine is a part of history. It highlights feminism and it continues to explore feminism as the world changes. Ms. Magazine has writing that has shaped our current world and is a part of the history of democracy and gender equity. It has documented struggles for body autonomy\, equality\, and justice and it continues to do so. \nThough this reading was planned before the death of Gloria Steinem\, it is timely because of her recent death at 92 years old. She was the co-founder of Ms. Magazine. She was also a journalist and reported for years on issues of gender equality\, especially reporting on them in Ms. Magazine. She did a lot to ensure that feminism was for all people and that backlash against it was not dividing us. She understood the concept of intersectionality and recognized that some women face multiple forms of oppression\, not only because of gender. \nMs. Magazine still continues today after 50+ years. It centers women\, the women’s movement\, the continued fight for equality\, and it holds up feminism as a necessary part of justice. It reports on the ways elections\, government\, and laws affect the freedom that people of all genders have. It reports on the gaps and on the successes. It uplifts body autonomy and choice\, leaving voice to individuals. It also unites people in community in the ongoing fight for democracy\, social justice\, and equity. \nThis reading is a recognition of voice and journalism around a social movement for change and equality. There will be a conversation-talkback afterwards.  Free and open to all. \n\n\n	Related
