Is Feminism Dead? If Yes, Then Good Riddance!

The Friends of the Marple Public Library are pleased to announce that Ms. Christine Flowers will be our guest speaker Wednesday October 15, 2015 at 7:15 pm in the lower level community room. Ms. Flowers is a well known personality with well articulated views on pressing and controversial political and social issues that face our nation and our regional scene. She
voices her views and thoughts both on television and in weekly newspaper columns. Feminism as a social and political movement has actively shaped national policies for many decades most recently in 1963 when Betty Friedan wrote the bestseller The Feminine Mystique in which she took issue with the mainstream media image of woman who stayed at home thereby limiting their possibilities and wasting their talent and potential. Now may be the time to give this movement a second opinion.

Christine Flowers has lived in Delaware County since 1969. A product of local schools, she graduated from Merion Mercy and obtained her undergraduate degree in French from Bryn Mawr College in 1983 and her law degree from Villanova in 1987. Christine has been practicing immigration law for 20 years, after having taught high school at the Haverford School and Villa Maria. Christine has been writing a regular opinion column for the Philadelphia Daily News since 2002, and a weekly opinion column for the Delco Sunday Times since April of 2013. She has also been a panelist on the Sunday morning round table talk show 6 ABC’s Inside Story since 2006. It may be said that Ms. Flowers has a lot of opinions, interesting insights, and thought provoking commentary on national and local issues, which is another way of saying she has a lot of opinions.

Our program is free and open to the public. A reception will immediately follow the presentation so all may speak with Ms. Flowers. Reservations are requested at 610-356-1510.
