notes in the second wave of the women's movement that there was a longer, quieter route to the new feminism, one that is often overlooked when historians are too quick to fasten on to the combustion of the late 1960s. for ku it has been easy to focus on the time period of the late 1960s and early 1970s when chaos erupted on campus. national guard troops marched near campus and the student union burned. however, a closer look at the activities at the university of kansas and in the dean of women's office will show that there was a longer, quieter route to student activism at ku and women and feminist activity intertwined in the heart of it. i will be making three major points today in the ku events which i share. first, the early involvement of the dean of women's office with women students intentionally fostered feminist attitudes and created an intergenerational dialogue regarding social change. second, this administrator specifically sought to shift gender roles and foster integration of blacks and whites on the campus. third, the administrator built an intergenerational feminist network

the combination of more radical and mainstream liberal feminisms in taylor's office was clear in the library house there. she had this large room on women's resources which was rare to find various texts regarding women in the late '60s. her text ranged from career and graduate school guides to the now statement of purpose. she had the politics of housework and beverly jones and judith brown tour of female liberation movement in the actual library. the thing i thought was so interesting was it was not uncommon to find in the campus mail such publications as the bitch manifesto and foundations for social change. gay folk. the point i want to emphasize here is that this administrator extended her umbrella of programming to include radical feminists and their agenda and the students involved in those areas. now that we've considered the growth of feminism at ku, i'd like to share a few stories regarding how this interactive, intergenerational women's network also extended into other areas of social activism. first i will consider civil rights and second i will discuss ku student protest

so, their so-called feminism, as a feminist i find it hard to combine nuns-feminists. but if you're talking about being supportive of those who are lesser than in society, it opened their eyes and there for they tend to be liberal in terms of the church. >> it's nothing to do with politics. it's not anything to do with them being liberal or being in favor of obama care. this investigation started long before this. the key is, are they taking positions and advocating positions that are contrary to the basic tenants, religious believes of the catholic church. because they are representing the catholic church where they go as catholic nuns. they cannot that is against the rules of the church, you can't have it both ways. can't take it upon yourself the authority of catholic nun then preach that which is against the church not expect authorities to come down. >> that's what's going on here. it's a doctrineal discussion, not political amongst hierarchy of the catholic church. >> however, it's also about like whom they have invited to speak, you would think american nuns are

one of the social conservative critiques that have emerged is that post second wave feminism makes womenpy. the expectations, here he is in his audio book making this point. >> many women have told me and surveys have shown that they find it easier, more professionally gratifying and certainly more socially affirming to work outside the home. than to give up their careers to take care of their children. the radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness. >> rick santorum was confronted about this section of his book because it sounds quite alien e alienating. >> you think? >> there was a concern about this guy about the nominee and george step nop list asked him about that question of the book. >> what do you say to people who believe that those kind of comments are going to alienate women, make you an easier candidate to beat in a general election? >> that section of the book was co-written by my wife who is a nurse and a lawyer. >> he throws his wife under the bus. >> who he notes was a n

do you take on feminism as a label for yourself? >> i do not.m just a true advocate for women. i don't think i need to identify myself with that term, you know, just to be supportive of women. >> and when you think about being supportive of women, what are the big challenges you see, women of your age, 17, 18, 19 years old? >> i definitely feel that education is an issue. like graduating and things like that. a lot of people think when you graduate high school, it's over. it's not an expectation to go on. that's why i like my school where they hold a higher expectation of all of us. we all go to four-jeer colleges and we all graduate. it's not over after you graduate and it's not okay to drop out and things like that. >> feel free to give your school a shout-out if you like. >> in hartford, connecticut. i believe that high expectation of us is what makes us go father. if a school expects less of us, that's what we do. >> there has never been a better time and yet it also feels like a time. and there are a lot of new restrictions emerging for you

beach, one of the counselors in student affairs was the most active person in promoting chicano feminism on our campus. in terms of the moments at which interviews are conducted, you took this model and have these three conceptual points. but i'm wondering if you've looked at the relationship between those conceptions and how you identified people's memories and when the interviews were done. because i think that has undoubtedly changed over time. so rather than just having these as three discreet models or concepts, i think it's really necessary to see for each of these people when those interviews were done. and similarly with rosie's work, i wonder if there were interviews of the students from the b.o.s. at the time of the commemoration and how they characterized their memories or what happened compared especially to if they were interviewed at the time of the rebellion. >> just a comment. i agree, yeah, it would be wonderful in a way if we could have had sort of a longitudinal process by which we maybe had interviewed folks at the time and then sort of carried that forward every few

man session was a way of drawing attention to the way the economy but also politics have become feminized particular, were making a special claim on the administration to need -- supposedly to need special assistance in the great recession, none of which was particularly true. i mean, i think the whole man session idea is not a very helpful way of thinking about the economy, but what it does draw our attention to is something that we frequently see in the experience of severe economic downturn, a long-term economic hardship, and that is that it has tremendous -- it's tremendously disruptive of family life, of individual lives in terms of the way they think about their place in the world, in the way they think about where they should be and the way they think about bred winning and their own sense of responsibility, absolutely their own sense of manliness, but frankly their sense of, you know, womanhood as well. >> absolutely. >> at this point because so many women are bread winners in their own family, and so we -- i argued in that piece, but i also think that this is the case, that a lot

>> well, you know, the phrase radical feminism has a cultural ring to it.mine, they would say, what is this? you can't be a good catholic, you can't be a good nun without being a feminist, because feminism means a belief in the fundamental equality of women and men. as far as i'm concerned, that's gospel 101. it's also teachings of the second vatican council. if you could indulge you for a second, my favorite quotation from that council comes from the document on the church in the modern world, which is, every type of discrimination based on sex is to be overcome and eradicated as contrary to god's intent. >> do you read the vatican's accusations as saying, we want you to be more concerned about same-sex marriage and those issues than we want you to be concerned about poverty in. >> yes, that's what they're trying to say. yet i think nuns embracing the teachings that came from the second vatican council have become deeply involved in issues of poverty, injustice, in the environment. we're very concerned about those things. those are our whole lives. our vow

i don't anyone would say that ben is an enormous crusader for feminism, or anything like that, but in his rationale, one of the things he thought was we always cover women as women. he wanted a section that involve women, talked about women, but in a modern way. that was another component. the third thing he mentioned is really good. in the proposal for the section, the guy who submitted it, david leventhal, who is an assistant managing editor, he said we want it peace that is about the way people live. there was nothing like that in the newspaper. when they put it together, but first i'll section cover was of this -- a woman about an fbi suspect was wanted for kidnapping. this was a revolutionary story at the time. about a woman and by women. i think ben was really looking for a modern way to express what was happening, and also for the newspaper to express their view of itself and have personality. as i say in the book, ben's great uncle was the first vendor of vanity fair. in that day, vanity fair had f. scott fitzgerald and all of these great writers. they were trying to become a

assange has famously called sweden the saudi arabia of feminism.l experts say it's unlikely that the court of human rights will rule that a country like sweden won't give assange a fair trial. his lawyers now have two weeks to consider initiating a challenge to the supreme court's ruling on assange's appeal. we didn't hear from assange himself today. reportedly he missed the court announcement because he was stuck in traffic. of course, some of assange's popularity wore off after the allegations of sexual assault came out. especially as they involve two women in a short period of time and criticism of this campaigner for openness and transparency's decision to host a program on a kremlin backed tv channel has also added to the mix. there are still some who think is he an hero add an advocate of transparency and accountability, harris, the debate continues. others think he was reckless and not only caused a lot of diplomatic embarrassment but put a lot of people's lives at risk. particularly sources that gave information to the u.s. government at di
