Women’s History month often seems to focus on only white, middle- to upper-class, cisgender, straight, able-bodied women. Looking around, we started to ask, what about the rest of us? Please join us, the Women of Color, the queer womyn, the trans* folks, the lesbians, the poor women, the women of varied dis/abilities as we claim our space in history!

8:00 PM: Tulane University Vagina Monologues; Kendall Cram

These events have been organized by students representing Amnesty International Tulane, Queer-Feminist Collective Student Group, TucpDirection Committee, Tulane Black Student Union, 1 in 3 Tulane, Students Organizing Against Racism at Tulane, African American Women’s Society,VOX: Tulane University, Tulane QSA, the Gender and Sexuality Advisory Council, and staff representing the The Office for Gender and Sexual Diversity at Tulane University, Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA Tulane), the Newcomb College Institute, and Tulane Celt.

This has been an effort filled with a lot of love and intentionality…coming at a very busy and difficult time for many of us. This week by no means is representative of the histories of all marginalized womyn, and we are working to include specific programming to highlight the stories of trans* people, stories around abortion rights, and stories of dis/abilities. These stories may not materialize until a later date because we want to present them in the most honest and loving way possible. If anyone is interested in helping to organize events, we NEED you. Contact Jess at jcallah@tulane.edu if you have time/energy to contribute.
