n+1: The Unfinished Work of Feminism Is Love: Nov 30

An evening with n+1: The Unfinished Work of Feminism Is Love
Monday, November 30th at 7:00pm
The Kitchen, 512 West 19th Street

Why can't feminists agree on love? We've gained equal rights and the right to "choose our choice," but what's left now for women? To be a women is to be conflicted. How do we reconcile sex and desire? Why is it that we can acknowledge the beauty and suffering caused by love, but to do so for sex only makes us seem vulnerable and less adventurous? What does love cost, in the most practical of terms, and can we afford it? Do we trade love for success? Children for ambition? What are the personal consequences of women leaving the workforce? Join Meghan O'Rourke, Carlene Bauer, Meghan Falvey, and Astra Taylor as they discuss what we can do for young women. n+1 editor-at-large Allison Lorentzen will moderate.
