Three powerful, bold women will grace the Diana Oval with their wisdom alongside President Spar. The reading and discussion will take place this Wednesday, October 5th, at 6:30pm. It will focus on the experiences and memories of Cathi Hanauer, Jennifer Finney Boylan, Lizzie Skurnick, and DSpar and their thoughts on womanhood, aging and feminism.
Â
Â
Bestselling author Cathi Hanauer will discuss her sequel to her popular New York Times essay collection, The Bitch is Back, and the many ways there are to age as a woman today. The book features an essay from each of the panel participants. Barnard’s own Professor Boylan will read a selection from her essay on returning to NYC as a professional woman after previously living there as a young man.
Â
Â
Lizzie Skurnick will speak her thoughts on having a baby on your own and deciding his/her mixed race. Last, but certainly not least, President Spar will expand on her discussion of beauty and aging, a topic which she recently wrote about in the New York Times.
Â
Hanauer will sign copies of her book after the event. Be sure to snag a seat at this once in a lifetime discussion of very Barnard-esque topics.
