CORNWALL, Conn.—The Cornwall Library will celebrate Women’s History Month by presenting Letty Cottin Pogrebin, the American feminist, writer, journalist and social activist who was one of the founding editors of Ms .Magazine.
She is now a key figure in second-wave feminism and Jewish activism, and has published more than a dozen books, including memoirs, nonfiction and fiction.
Pogrebin will be interviewed by Anne Kreamer, a journalist and author who specializes in business, work/life balance, culture, and women’s issues. Her career has included positions as varied as director of development for CBS Educational and Professional Publishing and serving on the board of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
Pogrebin and Kreamer plan a wide-ranging conversation, covering subjects such as an overview of feminism now and at earlier stages, the effect of Project 2025 on women’s issues, and the problems women still have in transitioning from advanced graduate school programs into the executive suite.
After the interview, there will be a Q & A session with the audience.

I think one strategy of feminism seems to be been forgotten: that feminists also have to combat violence against children (bell hooks). Violence against boys in the families might be a fundamental cause of patriarchy. Franz Jedlicka (Misogynization theory) has written an article about it recently on researchgate.
