International Women’s day was borne out of a global effort to improve the lives of women, particularly working women. As we celebrate the 98th anniversary of International Women’s Day, what are the goals of women’s liberation today? Linda-Martin Alcoff Professor of Philosophy at Hunter College and the author of Visible Identities: Race, Gender, and the Self, Staceyann Chin author of the forthcoming memoir The Other Side of Paradise, and Jennifer Baumgardner a writer for Ms. Magazine and the author of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism and the Future discuss challenges confronting women today. Then, an interview with Charlotte Bunch, Executive Director of the Center for Women’s Global Leadership at Rutgers University. We also take a look at Tami Gold’s work in progress, Catch The Joy As She Flies, a documentary film about Bunch's work and activism in Africa. A commentary from JLove Calderon. Finally, we speak to Ann Wright in Gaza on the humanitarian crisis there, Israel’s elections, and Middle East diplomacy under Obama. Thanks to Tami Gold for video in tonight’s show.
