Hi Women's Center Fans,
As you know, one of our bulletin board topics this month is "Female Social Activists" where we salute female social activists and reformers around the world. I found a video about Gloria Steinem, an American social activist and one of the women on the bulletin board this month. In this video she... is being interviewed on a variety of topics concerning women. I think this video is very interesting and I hope you enjoy it.

Really interesting choice, huh? I covered that she would be in Glamour on Tuesday, but didn't discuss that they had made her Woman of the Year.
