Young Women and Violence--November 10th in NYC
Second annual NYC luncheon features dynamic speakers
 The evidence is everywhere we turn-in our newspapers, on television, in
video games, on the Internet, in the lyrics of popular songs, in
government reports, and in courtrooms. The incidence of sexual
harassment, sexual violence, and exploitation of girls and young women
is reaching pandemic proportions. Here. In America. Not "someplace
else." Our young people are at risk. Laws, public policy, and education
haven't seemed to stem the tide.
Panelists Linda Fairstein, J.D., Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D., Joyce M. Roché, MBA, and Nan Stein, Ed.D., will offer, from their different perspectives, their
knowledge of what's working - and not - and will share ideas for
intervention and prevention to help girls and young women. Linda Wertheimer will offer remarks.
The luncheon will be held Tuesday, November 10th at The Yale Club of New York; reservations are required. Early registration is underway! Learn more at www.wcwonline.org/nycevent.

Announcing the Launch of WOMEN=BOOKS Blog
Women's Review of Books' blog goes live
 If ever there was a time for women
to connect, it's now.
WOMEN = BOOKS,
the Women's Review of Books (WRB)
blog, is creating a new online community. Women's Review of Books has always been
about jumping barriers: between feminist academics and political organizers,
theory and practice.
Similarly, WOMEN = BOOKS extends the range of WRB's print edition, expands its
audience, and deepens the conversation about ideas, politics, and women's
lives. WOMEN=BOOKS will
include weekly posts from selected reviewers and authors from each issue.
Visit www.wcwonline.org/womensreview
today and post your comments.
