DESCRIPTION:What do the issues raised in the 1970s by the feminist movement mean for 
 gender struggles today? The legacy of the late 1960s and early 1970s is 
 often simplified and transmitted as a revolutionary, univocal narration, 
 full of male leaders and workers. Yet this panel intends to highlight how 
 sexual liberation and the feminist movement enriched ideas of freedom, 
 starting to speak publicly not just of politics in an abstract sense, but 
 of everyday life. The idea of gendered freedom and liberation of women 
 needs to be discussed frankly, in its limits and co-opted forms.\n\nVideo 
 clips from recent Italian films will be shown to connect 1970s feminism in 
 the U.S. and in Europe.  This discussion will bring together three 
 generations of scholars and activists from different backgrounds and 
 perspectives; from North America in the 1960s, anti-colonial Marxism in the 
 1970s, to transnational contemporary perspectives.\n\nFeatured 
 Panelists:\n\nRoxanne Dunbar Ortiz - writer, teacher, historian, and social 
 activist - is Professor Emeritus of Ethnic Studies and Women’s Studies at 
 California State University, East Bay.\n\nSilvia Federici - scholar,
