The event’s abstract is as follows:

Around the globe we see hopeful new resistance movements, led by women and informed by feminism. In this spirit, we will explore the life and work of twentieth century feminist pacifist humanist Barbara Deming, who embodied her belief that "We are all part of one another" as she evolved through the civil rights, anti-war, feminist and gay movements.
