Women’s Rights in America: From Early Stirrings to Third Wave Feminism


Southern Methodist University - Dallas Hall

Join Rebecca Walker and Helen LaKelly Hunt for a special event on feminist scholarship and social activism. Helen will explore courageous stories of America’s earliest feminists who’ve been forgotten in the shadows of history and Rebecca will analyze today’s Third Wave feminists/womanists, thereby inspiring us all to strengthen women’s socio-political activism today.

Scholar, activist, and philanthropist Helen LaKelly Hunt has recently published a new book— And The Spirit Moved Them—that continues her established trajectory of writings at the intersection of faith and feminism. She shows how rediscovered feminist history energizes today’s feminist socio-political activism.

Rebecca Walker is nationally recognized activist and best-selling author. Walker has been regarded as a prominent feminist voice since she published an article in 1992 in Ms. magazine in which she proclaimed, "I am the Third Wave.” Her writing, teaching, and speeches focus on race, gender, politics, power, and culture. In her activist work, she co-founded the Third Wave Fund that morphed into the Third Wave Foundation.
