Writing women back into history
To celebrate March as Women's History Month, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) of Nevada County is hosting a showing of the PBS documentary, “Women, Power, and Politics” at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in the Library Building, N6, Room 101, Sierra College in Grass Valley.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion lead by Dr. Kathleen Taylor, Professor of Psychology at Sierra College, and Lynn Medeiros, Professor of History at the college. The public is welcome. There is no charge for admission.
The United States disparity in political representation for women compares unfavorably with many other countries. The film, “Women, Power and Politics” focuses on that disparity and probes into the reasons for it.
The discussion following the film will further explore those issues, and the implications for equity for women and for the quality of governmental decision-making affecting us all.
Dr. Taylor specializes in social-cultural psychology. She has published work and/or performed institutional research in topics ranging from familial abuse and adolescent pregnancy, American Indian education in California, stigmatized social identity, and the stress-disease relationship.
Ms. Medeiros specializes in women's political history. She has a bachelor's and master's degree from California State University, Sacramento.
