DESCRIPTION:SCPL Virtual Author Talk with Clara Bingham and discussion led by Professor 
 Bettina Aptheker\n\nIn celebration of Women's History Month, join us as we 
 view the recording of our SCPL Virtual Author Talk with Clara Bingham and 
 join the discussion led by UC Presidential Co-Chair and Feminist Critical 
 Race & Ethnic Studies Professor Bettina Aptheker. Light refreshments will 
 be provided. Registration is recommended and drop-ins are welcome.\n\nClara 
 Bingham's new book, The Movement: How Women’s Liberation Transformed 
 America, 1963-1973 is a comprehensive and engaging oral history of the 
 decade that defined the feminist movement, including interviews with living 
 icons and unsung heroes. The Movement is the first oral history of the 
 decade that built the modern feminist movement. Through the captivating 
 individual voices of the people who lived it, The Movement tells the 
 intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the 
 modern feminist crusade when women rejected thousands of years of custom 
 and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to be.\n\nThis 
 engaging history traces women’s awakening, organizing, and agitating 
 between 1963 and 1973 when a decentralized collection of people and events 
 coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan’s The 
 Feminine Mystique to the underground abortion network the Janes, to Shirley 
 Chisholm’s presidential campaign and Billie Jean King’s 1973 battle of 
 the sexes, Bingham artfully weaves together the fragments of that explosion 
 person by person, bringing to life the emotions of this personal, cultural, 
 and political revolution. Artists and politicians, athletes and lawyers, 
 Black and white, The Movement brings readers into the rooms where these 
 women insisted on being treated as first-class citizens and, in the 
 process, changed the fabric of American life.\n\nAbout the Author:
