P.S. Here’s the Hillside Club’s event description:

A Woman’s Voice will present Joan Blades in conversation with
friends and audience members discussing the role of mothers, families
and how they relate to the on-going women’s movement now and in the
future. Joan is a co-founder of both MoveOn.Org and Momsrising.Org.
The former is a political education and advocacy group; the latter
works to bring together millions of people who share a common concern
about the need to build a more family-friendly America.

This is the first in a monthly series of lectures at the Club. The
series, A Woman’s Voice, gives women an opportunity to express their
passion to a new or wider audience.
