Tiffany Shlain Creates Femonology: Don't Miss This October Surprise!
Issue 243— October 9, 2023
Given world events today, it’s fair to ask: Would history unfold differently if gender equality were the norm?
This week we’ll tackle that question of world history through a gender lens.
Last week I introduced October Surprises — the good kind. These FREE juicy morsels of practical information to use and inspiration to lift us up, served up in brief, engaging chats, will spice up the fall without the calories of pumpkin spice lattes. Though feel free to sip one while attending.
Join me for snackable virtual bites I’ll moderate with prominent guests, including interactive Q and A. If you can’t attend at the time set, register anyway and we’ll send you the replay to consume on your time. (Scroll down for replay of last week’s chat with Shalini Sardana and Vidhi Data of She Raises Capital if you missed it.)
Friday, October 13 at 1pm Eastern time/10 am Pacific time, Fireside Chat with Tiffany Shlain, the visionary creator of the knock-your-socks-off upcoming art activation, “Dendrofemonology, A Feminist History Tree Ring” to be launched with a four-day event on the National Mall November 1–4. You’re going to want to be there! Tiffany will tell you all about it and how she conceived of this groundbreaking way to tell the story of women, so many of whom have been left out of the narrative. The tree ring tells a 50,000 year history of humanity through an intersectional feminist lens to inspire people to #ReclaimOurHistory and #VoteOur Future. Presented by the National Women’s History Museum and Women Connect 4 Good Foundation, Take The Lead is a proud partner. Via Zoom. Register here.
