In Conversation With Heather Cox Richardson

How individuals can effect change

We plan to talk about women change-makers, politics, Reconstruction, The New Yorker, feminism, and the role that creativity can have in bringing about cultural and political change. I know we are both champions of the notion that individuals can make a difference.

Half the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Lincoln Theater, and half to help the fund to help make my documentary, WOMEN LAUGHING. This film is about how the work of women humorists can help us see differently, and ultimately bring about cultural transformation.
