On April 22 at 4:00 pm in LC 102, Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Susan Faludi gave a WFF-Poynter talk entitled, “Is Feminism a Dysfunctional Family? Mothers, Sisters, Facebook Friends, and Other Difficult Relations.” The talk explored inter-generational feminist legacies, as well as how the tropes of “motherhood” and “sisterhood” are used in media representations of feminism. The WFF was thrilled to co-host this lecture, which garnered a large and engaged audience.
