Lehigh University Women's Center What's in a Name is an effort for us to understand how language impacts us and the way that we interact with the social world. The way in which one chooses to either self identify one self or the way in which people identify them plays a major role in the way we behave. So whether or not one considers that person Black, what are the implications that come along with that identification?

Overt barriers to women in positions of leadership exist, and can be
quite difficult to overcome. Perhaps even more insiduous are the ways in
which ...those barriers may be internalized. In this workshop participants
can begin to eplore their own internal inhibitors through individual
activities with the option for larger group interaction.

Brief Synopsis of "Kissing the Virgin's Mouth:

[ http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Kissing-the-Virgins-Mouth/Donna-M-Gershten/e/9780060933586/?itm=1&USRI=kissing+the+virgin%27s+mouth ]

Here is the inspiring story of Guadalupe Magdalena Molina Vásquez, a
savvy woman--wife, scoundrel, and mother. In a society in which gender and class roles are unbending, and religion predominant, Magda climbs from the poor barrio of a Mexican town to American affluence, from wide-eyed childhood to worldly courtesan life, from full-blooded youth to oncoming blindness in middle age. With intelligence and humor, she bends the restraints of religion and culture to support her own drive for
independence and, ultimately, passes along her earthy wisdom to her
half-American daughter. A novel about love, the power of sex, and the
struggles of women, Kissing the Virgin's Mouth is an extraordinary first
novel from a major new literary talent.

About the Author:

Donna M. Gershten has previously published short stories in literary
journals. She lives in Denver, CO.

On September 17th, Lehigh had the chance to meet T.J. Leyden, a neo-Nazi white supremacist activist and recruiter who experienced a profound change of heart, turned away from hate, and began teaching tolerance.

Leyden's experience raises certain profound questions: what does repentance look like? When has a person done... a "sufficient" amount of atonement? At what point are we required to forgive a person for his or her misdeeds?

We'll be exploring these issues at a brown-bag lunch discussion on September 24th at 12 p.m. in the M Room on the second floor of the UC.

We hope you'll be able to join us.
