Who are the women championed by today's feminist movement? On the next Your Call, we will celebrate Women's History Month. It was introduced 100 years ago by a German socialist Clara Zetkin but how much of that history is with today's women's movement? What does it mean to be a woman in today's society? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Which women would you like to see honored during Women's History Month -- or year-round? It's Your Call, with me Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Nona Willis Aronowitz, journalist and cultural critic.
Katie Kanagawa, a lecturer at San Francisco State University. Her areas of interests are contemporary U.S. film and popular culture, feminist histories and theories.
Cynthia Enloe, a feminist scholar and a Research Professor of Women's Studies and International Development at Clark University.

I enjoyed this program very much and thought it was far superior to the coverage provided by outlets like CNN and The Huffington Post. However, I have a few questions:
1. Why did you wait until March 30 to celebrate Women's History Month? I was disappointed when you didn't do a program about feminism on Int'l Women's Day (March 8).
2. When are you going to do a program about dealing with anti-feminist backlash?
3. Mother's Day is coming up, so are you going to do a program about mother's rights, otherwise known as work-family balance? Are you going to interview Sharon Lerner, author of the forthcoming, "The War on Mothers: On Life in a Family Unfriendly Nation"?
4. Father's Day is coming up, so are you going to do a program about responsible, pro-feminist fatherhood? Men today do more housework and childcare than their fathers and grandfathers did, but it's still far from 50%.
Progressive can not afford to cede these family justice issues to conservatives.
