GUESTS:  Judith Houck, Ph.D., Chair of Gender and Women's Studies and Associate Professor of Medical History, Bioethics and the History of Science at UW-Madison;  Fatou Ceesay, Board Member of the Wisconsin Women's Network and Coordinator of Women's Equality Day


In 1920, the 19th Amendment was passed giving women the right to vote. This significant moment which gave women across America a full voice in their communities is being celebrated on Tuesday, August 26, at a public event at Cooper's Tavern in Madison from 5:00-7:00 p.m.

On this All About Living program, Fatou Ceesay describes the WWN's work to promote the advancement of women and girls in Wisconsin.  For more information, go to www.wiwomensnetwork.org.

Joining her is Dr. Judith Houck.  Dr. Houck takes us back to the 1960's and 70's when women activists efforts turned to returning women's health to women's hands.  How has this changed women's lives?
 And where are we today in this ongoing effort?  Find out on this program.
