From Riot Grrrl to Marketplace Feminism: Selling—and Selling Out—Feminism with Andi Zeisler

·         October 4^th

·         Chandler Recital Hall in Diehn Fine and Performing Arts Building

·         7:00-9:00 PM

In the space of a few short years, feminism—an ideology debated, derided and declared dead by mainstream media for decades—has suddenly become a hot media commodity. Celebrities love it; advertisers want it; fashion designers praise it. But what is this new feminism, and is it really about equality—or just commerce? This talk discusses the slow shift from the insurgent, collective power of Riot Grrrl to the new market-friendly feminism, and questions what we can learn from both.
