GLORIA STEINEM SPEAKS OUT ON “MTSU ON THE RECORD” ON WMOT
Women’s Rights Advocate Slated to Keynote National Women’s History Month Events

(MURFREESBORO) – Feminist author and activist Gloria Steinem will be the guest at 8 a.m. this Sunday, Feb. 28, on “MTSU on the Record” with host Gina Logue on WMOT-FM (89.5 and wmot.org).
Steinem is scheduled to deliver the keynote address for MTSU’s celebration of National Women’s History Month at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 2, in the Tennessee Room of the James Union Building. This event is free and open to the public with a reception and book signing to follow.
Steinem, co-founder of Ms. magazine, also helped to found the Women’s Action Alliance, a national organization dedicated to nonsexist, multiracial children’s education, and the National Women’s Political Caucus, a group that strives to increase the numbers of pro-equality women in elected and appointed offices at all levels of government.
A 1956 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Smith College, Steinem is collaborating with her alma mater’s Sophia Smith Collection on a project to document the grass roots origins of the U.S. women’s movement.
