The seventh annual Sarah Lawrence College conference in honor of Women's
History Month will be an interdisciplinary gathering that seeks to
understand women's lives by examining the stories they tell about
themselves and others. How have women understood their experience? What
lessons have they sought to hand down? How have they found their voices
in social movements, literature, the academy, the arts? How have
differences of class, race, generation, ethnicity, nationality and
sexuality played out in women's lives? Do their stories reveal
commonalities that transcend differences?

Esmeralda Santiago--poet, novelist, and author of the acclaimed memoirs
When I was Puerto Rican (1993), Almost a Woman (1998), and The Turkish
Lover (2004)--will give the keynote speech on March 4th.

This conference is free and open to the public. It will be held on the
campus of Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, 15 minutes outside of
Manhattan.
