Join us as we celebrate the history and relevance of International Women's Day (IWD).  From it's inception as an outgrowth of socialist labor movements in the early 20th Century to it's modern incarnation as a global day of awareness of the struggles of women, International Women's Day has provided an annual opportunity to focus on female empowerment.  

We will touch upon the United States Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and whether this could be the year that American women will have their equal rights enshrined in the US Constitution.  Also, we will talk about this year's UN theme for IWD: "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality."  Women have made many historical contributions to technological development in culture and we will focus on a few of them including those of Ada Lovelace, the mother of modern computing. 

Vicki Noble, Dawn "Sam" Alden and Sean Marlon Newcombe discuss.
