BY JASON ROWE
Students in Tracey Ivey’s HIS
162 Women and History class
heard noted feminist and journalist
Gloria Steinem speak as part of
the “Unique Lives and
Experiences” lecture series at
Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh
on April 5 at 8:00 p.m.
Ivey secured a $500 minigrant
from the Foundation of WCC to
buy $30 tickets for 16 students to
attend.
Other speakers in the series
included Mary Tyler Moore, Ann
Richards, Joan Rivers, and Leslie
Stahl.
Ivey said, “I wanted students to
hear a prominent spokesperson in
the history of the women’s rights
movement.”
In 1972 Steinem helped to
establish “Ms,” a successful
women’s magazine.
Steinem also formed the
National Women’s Political
Caucus and the Coalition of
Labor Union Women.
She was named to the National
Women’s Hall of Fame for her
achievements.
Rosalyn Lomax and Kathryn
Spicer, who also attended the
event, said they thought Steinem
would be more “fiery.”
Spicer said, “She was not as
forceflil as I had expected.”
Students thought Steinem looked
great to be 66 years old.
Her best-selling books include
“Outrageous Acts and Everyday
Rebellions” (1983) and
“Revolution from Within” (1992).
