The 1970s saw incredible advancements in public engagement with, and recognition of, women’s rights. This flowering of second-wave feminism had a far-reaching impact on American society.
What was it like for women who participated in the counterculture during that time? What challenges did they face, and what opportunities did they find? How was women’s experience in Vermont unique, and what did it share with the rest of the country?
Bring your ideas, questions, and thoughts for a far-reaching roundtable conversation reflecting on the past and its connections to the present. In partnership with the Vermont Commission on Women.
