Join the Women, Gender and Health Interdisciplinary concentration to learn about the radical history of IWD and its deep ties to issues of gender, work & health justice.

This book includes stories of two Boston socialist feminist groups, Bread and Roses and the Combahee River Collective, whose activism and analysis modeled connecting “women’s issues” to other 1960s-1970s campaigns against racism and other forms of inequality.
A Q&A with the audience will follow. Speakers from co-sponsoring groups & members of the audience are welcome to briefly share what this day means for them.
