Weaving Wisdom, Imagining the Future of Feminism: Linda Silver Dranoff spoke on September 10, 2019 during Part 1 (at about 9 minutes in).

Hart House was closed to women when I entered university. My talk includes a description of the protests in which I was involved to change this.

I also challenged the panel with my To Do list of further changes needed that are worth working for, including the need for a national women’s organization to work with all women in sisterhood to speak with one voice.
