Social activist Gloria Steinem will be among two dozen nationally prominent activists and authors today at a University of California at Berkeley conference that will explore the next generation of feminism.
The feminist pioneer who founded Ms. Magazine will give the keynote address Sunday at the weekend-long “Multicultural Women’s Leadership Conference,” hosted by nonprofit women’s leadership organization Engage Her.
The event is co-sponsored by UC Berkeley’s Multicultural Student development unit in the Division of Equity and Inclusion.
The second day of the conference will begin at 8 a.m. today in the Valley Life Sciences Building Auditorium. The conference will conclude at 7 p.m. with a conversation between Steinem, United Farm Workers Union co-founder Dolores Huerta, Aileen Hernandez, former president of the National Organization for Women and human rights activist Yuri Kochiyama.
