Free public lecture by author Barbara Ehrenreich
The Citizens League of Central Oklahoma and Oklahoma City University present Barbara Ehrenreich at a free public lecture 7 pm Wednesday, September 29, 2004, Kirkpatrick Auditorium, Oklahoma City University.
Ehrenreich is the author of the New York Times bestseller (and one-time Herland Book Club choice) Nickel and Dimed: On Not Making It in America. In 2000, the veteran journalist and social commentator (and hard-core feminist) went undercover, working in a series of low-paying jobs as a waitress, maid, health care worker, and sales clerk. The resulting book is an old-fashioned, in-your-face expose forcing anyone who reads it to acknowledge the often desperate plight of Americans working at minimum wage.
This event is free and open to the public.
