Wednesday, March 9 from 9:30am-2pm in the Old Judiciary Room of the State Capitol
Join us for Women’s Day at the Capitol, the Connecticut Permanent Commission on the Status of Women signature event. This year's theme is "Intersectional Feminism 101" and will include a keynote presentation from by Monica Raye Simpson and Reia Chapman of SisterSong.
What is intersectional feminism? “The view that women experience oppression in varying configurations and in varying degrees of intensity. Cultural patterns of oppression are not only interrelated, but are bound together and influenced by the intersectional systems of society. Examples of this include race, gender, class, ability, and ethnicity.” – Kimberlé Crenshaw
