Arkansas State’s theme for the 2013 Women’s History Month Celebration is “Women Inspiring Imagination through Innovation.” ASU has planned a host of events that represent a culmination of remembrance, inspiration, and appreciation. Dr. Rickie Solinger, award winning historian and author, will speak Tuesday, March 5, on the topic of “Women’s History, Health, and Reproductive Rights.” This event also includes a panel discussion of “Choice vs. Reproductive Justice: Which is Better for Women?” Solinger’s address begins at 4 p.m. in the Carl R. Reng Student Union Auditorium. One may contact Dr. Sarah Wilkerson Freeman, professor of history, sarahwf@astate.edu, for additional information about Solinger and her presentation. On Tuesday, March 26, the public is invited to attend “An Intimate Conversation with Janis Kearney,” diarist to Bill Clinton, the 42nd U.S. President. Kearney will discuss her recent book, “Daisy: Between a Rock and a Hard Place,” and her experiences as a writer. The event will be held in the Multicultural Center, on the third floor of the Carl R. Reng Student Union, at 4 p.m. A reception will follow. The ASU Women’s History Month Celebration concludes Thursday, March 28, with the second annual Women’s Leadership Conference, along with the Living Legends Luncheon sponsored by the Multicultural Center. Conference attendees will participate in engaging workshops about leadership, work-life balance, branding, and other empowering tools for success. During the Living Legends Luncheon, one outstanding woman will be awarded the “Living Legend” award for her accomplishments and contributions to the community. The guest speaker for the luncheon is First Lady of Arkansas, Ginger Beebe. Registration for the Women’s Conference begins Friday, March 1.
