Abstract
Performances at the 23rd anniversary forum for the February Sisters, a group of women who staged a 1972 sit-in to protest conditions for women at the University of Kansas. After a meeting with Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers, Jr. and the Student Senate Executive Committee the university agreed to establish a day care center on campus and a Women's Studies Program.
The evening includes several components:
An interpretive dance performance by undergraduate students in Women's Studies on the history of the February Sisters and the women's movement at KU
A multimedia slide presentation by Professor Janet Davidson on representations of women in both images and words.
A performance art piece by Nicole Hendricks and Jessica Munson
Poetry readings by Paula Shumacker and Rachel Miller.
