An Evening with Lynn Povich
November 12, 2012
Richard Eaton Theater, Knight Hall
5:30 p.m., Refreshments served
Lynn Povich made history as one of the 46 women who sued Newsweek magazine in 1970 -- the first sex discrimination suit against a media giant. The story went largely untold until now. Join Povich as she discusses "The Good Girls Revolt" -- her account of the signal events that changed American journalism and the workplace as a whole. She'll also discuss what has changed for young women today, and what has not.
Books will be available for sale at the event in the Knight Hall lobby where Lynn Povich will sign copies.
This event is co-sponsored by the Philip Merrill College of Journalism, Shirley Povich Center for Sports Journalism, ADVANCE Program for Inclusive Excellence, Department of History, Department of Women's Studies, Robert H. Smith School of Business Center for Social Value Creation, Robert H. Smith School of Business Center for Leadership, Innovation and Change and UM Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
