Offered By: The Aspen Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the impact and aftermath of the #MeToo movement in this 48-minute talk from The Aspen Institute. Delve into the significant gains for women's rights and opportunities in recent years, while examining persistent disparities in income security, health, reproductive rights, education access, and workplace fairness. Analyze how these issues disproportionately affect low-income women and women of color. Discuss the power of the movement, its life-altering changes, and the challenges that remain in creating a society that truly values all women. Consider the role of cultural shaping, public teaching, and the involvement of men in the conversation.
