A Hero for Daisy

[Film]

Women Faculty Forum: This one-hour documentary is about two-time Olympian Chris Ernst, who galvanized her rowing team to storm the Yale Athletic Director's office in 1976 protesting the lack of proper locker room facilities for women. The incident did much to alert the nation about the inequities that persisted after the passage of Title IX legislation. Free and open to the public.

Gender Matters: Women and Yale

[Conference]

20 - 21 September 2001

Women Faculty Forum: The 300th anniversary of Yale University offers an opportunity to reflect on the roles women have played in the university and beyond it over the past three centuries. During the last 100 years, women gained admission to Yale as students and now constitute 49.24% of its student body as well as serve on its faculty and in its administration. This conference examines contributions that women have made and how gender affects the subjects women study, the ideas and art women appreciate, the political, social and economic structures that shape women's lives.
