What is the women's movement today and how did we get here?

On the next Your Call, we begin a two-part special about the state of the women's movement, how we got here, and where we're going. What were the feminists of the 70s fighting for? What gains have women made? And what have they lost? How do you measure progress for women? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. We'll have an intergenerational conversation. What can the older generation of women's rights activists teach to the younger generation? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Loretta Ross, national coordinator of SisterSong

Norma Swenson, professor of women and health at the Harvard School of Public Health and co-author of Our Bodies, Ourselves

Mariam Saeed, student of political science at SF State University and intern with Your Call
