Program Notes: It was a fascinating experience to share in conversation with Marianne Schnall. The opportunity to share how she has spent years building the website FEMINIST.com as a vehicle for supporting feminist organizations, initiatives, and providing a central connection point for women to stay abreast of what is in movement is a privilege. Equally inspiring was learning about how and why she founded the What Will It Take Movements, which is a media, collaboration, learning, and social engagement platform that inspires, connects, educates, and engages women everywhere to advance in all levels of leadership and take
action. I invite you to tune in to learn more about how this amazing and powerful women is dedicating her life to forwarding real change on the behalf of women.
