Herland Sister Resources

If so, the Women’s Studies Program at the University of Oklahoma wants you.  The program is initiating a project of video/oral history interviews with Oklahoma’s ERA activists in order to save their stories.  The interviews will be transcribed, indexed, and archived in OU’s Western History Collection and the Women’s Studies Library to be available to researchers and the public.

As part of the modern American women’s movement, Oklahoma’s fight for the ERA is a valuable piece of history.   Activists in Oklahoma, as in the rest of the country, fought for women’s rights, and these interviews will contribute to the ability of scholars to write a complete history of the struggle.

If you were active in the ERA campaign in Oklahoma, or if you can identify others who were, please send names and contact information to:

Join the Herland Supper Club on Saturday, January 10, at 5:30 pm for dinner and a movie.  We will have the theater room at Italiano’s Pasta and Pizza, 4801 N. Lincoln Blvd, all to ourselves.  Their menu includes mouth-watering dishes like baked ziti and meatball supremo, lighter fare like soups and salads, and a pizza and pasta bar.  And Italiano’s has a full selection of wines and beers.

We will be eating in their theater room and will watch a true classic—Desert Hearts—while we eat.  Filmed in 1985, this was one of the first lesbian love stories to hit the big screens.  Set in 1950s Reno, Nevada, Desert Hearts tells the story of a 35 year old professor that comes to town to file for divorce and falls for a free-spirited 25 year old casino worker.  Join us as we revisit this timeless classic.
