In 1971, classified ads for employment were still segregated by gender, battered women’s shelters did not exist, abortion was illegal, and married women couldn’t open a bank account without their husband’s permission. LEFT ON PEARL is about the movement that changed all that.
Director Susan Rivo will be present for Q&A.
