ZoomYaleWomen Virtual Event Series Presents: Virtual Travel
Armchair travel experience that lets you explore the world from your living room. We miss the smell of jet fuel as much as an island breeze. And while those things might not be in the cards for most of us at the moment, virtual travel can at least fill a void until we can finally resume globetrotting.
Thursday, March 25, 6 PM EST, meet people all over the world while trying something new. Join us in an interactive online video session led by a local host - all without leaving your home.
Spend a day with a Parisian in Paris, uncover Rome with an ecologist in Italy, or discover why masterpieces at the Louvre are considered the finest with an art expert.
This will be an integrated approach to travel and culture before a trip, during, and after a trip. Or even without a trip.
This is a paid ticketed event. Please RSVP (no purchase necessary) if you’re interested in receiving details about the event upon announcement.
UPDATE March 17, 2021: We are taking a virtual field trip to Paris! Ticket sales are now open through Eventbrite. See "Purchase Tickets" link below. More information is provided on the Eventbrite page.

Glorious Boy
“Reminiscent of the tone and atmosphere of Somerset Maugham and George Orwell’s Asia-set novels, Glorious Boy is a Second World War story of adventure and loss, uniquely set in the Andaman Islands, one of India’s farthest flung territories” – Asian Review of Books
It’s 1942. The Japanese have invaded Burma and are closing in on India. After five years in the remote Andaman Islands, aspiring anthropologist Claire Durant and her husband Shep, a civil surgeon, must evacuate with their beloved but mysteriously mute four-year-old, Ty. They cannot, however, take Naila, the local girl whose ability to communicate with Ty has made them dangerously dependent on her. The morning of the evacuation, both children disappear. With time running out, Shep forces Claire onto the ship while he stays behind to find their son. But just days after landing in Calcutta, Claire learns that the Japanese have taken the Andamans—and cut off all access to her missing family. In the desperate odyssey that follows, Claire, Shep, and Naila will all take unimaginable risks while drawing deeply from their knowledge of these unique islands to save their beloved “glorious boy.”
Praise for Glorious Boy:
“Evokes every side in a multi-cultural conversation with sympathy and rare understanding.” – Pico Iyer
One of the NY Post’s “Best Books of the Week”
*Riveting… a fascinating, irresistible marvel –Starred review, Library Journal
*For readers unafraid to be swept away --Starred review, Booklist

College admissions can feel like a black box. Yet it's a black box where everyone you know has an opinion.
Should you apply early? Do the essays really matter? And of course now with Covid, do you still need to take the ACT/SATs? What happens if you don't?
For most YaleWomen alums with high schoolers starting to think about college, it's been a long time since we were "in the process," and so much has changed.
Luckily for you, we pulled together 3 amazing experts for our panel on demystifying the college admissions process.
Please join us for this information-rich panel with plenty of time for Q&A so that you can get all your quesitons answered...And from the comfort of your own home. What's not to love?
P.S. If your good friend is going through the same confusion or uncertainty, feel free to share this event with them as well.

She then served as a College Access Fellow at 12+, where she worked closely with high school juniors and seniors, helping them interpret financial aid packages and guiding them through the often difficult college search and selection process. In 2015, she made her way back to California, working as an admissions officer and later as Assistant Dean of Admissions at Pomona College.

YW-Houston From Suffrage to the Pandemic Homeschooling Crisis: Gendering Civic Engagement
The YaleWomen Houston Chapter invites you to a discussion (via Zoom) with
Dr. Elizabeth Gregory PhD ‘89
From Suffrage to the Pandemic Homeschooling Crisis: Gendering Civic Engagement
Sunday, September 20, 3-4 PM CST
In her recent article in The Nation, Dr. Gregory suggests that using “the Covid-19 crisis to transform national family, education, and work policies would jump-start real education equity and a culture and economy of care.”
She points out that, a century after women finally achieved the basic right of suffrage, women still lack representation on court benches, in legislatures, and on corporate boards. “There are few in office advocating for women’s issues in this COVID moment, so the wider community must address the national homeschooling catastrophe families are facing, the burden of which falls largely on women.”
Dr. Gregory will discuss these and other issues with us, and will respond to questions.
Please RSVP to Anne Furse ([email protected]) by September 16th; Zoom log-in details will be sent to registrants the day before the event.
Dr. Gregory directs the Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies program and the Institute for Research on Women, Gender & Sexuality at the University of Houston, where she is a professor of English. Her research focuses on both American modernist poetry and women’s work and fertility; her current work explores the economics of gender, with a focus on Houston.

YW-CT Connecticut Historical Society: 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage
Word of this event spread before we were able to get it to you by blast email and it immediately “sold out.” This is a private tour of the storage and collections areas of the Connecticut Historical Society – small spaces that are not normally open to the public – maximum capacity for the tour is 14 people. We have started a wait list – to be included on the list, email Susan Lennon at [email protected]. (If there is sufficient interest, perhaps we can persuade the Museum to offer a second private tour at another time!)
Do you know that the 50WomenAtYale150 celebrations coincide with the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote?
Join YaleWomen Connecticut in celebrating 50WomenAtYale150 – the 50th anniversary of the coeducation of Yale College and the 150th anniversary of the Graduate & Professional Schools!

The Connecticut Historical Society (located in Hartford, which was front and center in the suffragette movement) has generously offered YaleWomen Connecticut a limited capacity (maximum capacity is 14 people), private tour of "Behind-the-Scenes Tour: The Fight For Women’s Suffrage In Connecticut" at 3 pm, Saturday, January 18, 2020.
How did the women of Connecticut work for – or against – the right to vote? In this behind-the-scenes program, we’ll look at photos, letters and pamphlets from the Museum’s collection to understand one of the most hard-fought political battles of American history. You’ll learn about suffragists like Katherine Houghton Hepburn (mother of Katharine Hepburn, who grew up in Hartford), Mary Townsend Seymour, and Isabella Beecher Hooker, as well as some Connecticut women who fought tooth-and-nail against women getting the vote (what was up with them?).
This tour will take guests into storage and collections areas of the Museum not normally open to the public.
$10 CHS members, $15 for non-members. Tours last approximately 1 hour and are appropriate for ages 12 and up.

When Artists Drew Maps. Views and Figures of France in the Middle Ages and Renaissance
In celebration and commemoration of 50WomenAtYale150 join YaleWomen France for a distinctive event that shines a light on women. Join us at the National Archives for a tour of When Artists Drew Maps. Views and Figures of France in the Middle Ages and Renaissance with Camille Serchuk (MA ’86,MPhil ’88, PhD ‘97), who collaborated with Juliette Dumasy-Rabineau and Nadine Gastaldi to create this exhibition.

Soar over or explore the cities and countryside of medieval and Renaissance France. Discover another kind of cartography, one at the confluence of surveying, observation and art that appears at the end of the Middle Ages and beginning of the Early Modern period (14th - 16th century).. This is what the exhibition When Artists Drew Maps. Views and Figures of France in the Middle Ages and Renaissance invites us to do.
Archives and libraries conserve a large number of maps, plans, and views of territories from all over France, produced between 1300 and 1600. They reveal, quite literally, the landscapes of France at that time. The exhibition will present some the most beautiful examples of these images.
Many of these so-called “figures” were made by painters, including some of the most famous artists of their day (Jean Cousin, Bernard Palissy, Nicolas Dipre...). The images are thus at the intersection of art and cartography. Most of them are exhibited to the general public for the first time, providing exceptional insight into the landscapes and contexts of daily life at the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance.
In the age of GPS, Google View and Google Earth, which have renewed our ability to comprehend a large space with the help of an image, these visual maps should not surprise us; instead, they should make us think about our relationship to space and our confidence in its representation. With this exhibition, the Archives nationales aims to bring to light these little-known documents, most of which are on public display for the first time.

Private ResidenceYWLA Blue Reads Book Club Dec 8 - Once Removed
Please join us for a YaleWomen BlueReads Book Club discussion and Q&A with Colette Sartor, author of the linked short story collection Once Removed, which won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction.
When: Sunday, December 8th, 6pm-8pm
Where: A private residence in Beverlywood, address upon RSVP
Note: Maximum Capacity is 50 – so please sign up as early as possible. And, if you later find you cannot come, please be sure to cancel your RSVP to open a seat for another.
Colette Sartor, Yale ’88, has published award-winning short stories and personal essays in the Chicago Tribune, Kenyon Review Online, Colorado Review, and numerous other publications. A writing instructor for almost twenty years, Colette currently teaches at the UCLA Extension Writers’ Program and the Los Angeles Writers’ Grotto as well as privately. She lives in LA with her husband, son, and very large German Shepherd dog who’s afraid of the wind.
Once Removed
The women in the linked short story collection Once Removed carry the burdens imposed in the name of intimacy―the secrets kept, the lies told, the disputes initiated―as well as the joy that can still manage to triumph. A singer with a damaged voice and an assumed identity befriends a silent, troubled child; an infertile law professor covets a tenant’s daughterly affection; a new mother tries to shield her infant from her estranged mother’s surprise Easter visit; an aging shopkeeper hides her husband’s decline and a decades-old lie to keep her best friends from moving away.
With depth and an acute sense of the fragility of intimate connection, Colette Sartor creates stories of women that resonate with emotional complexity. Some of these women possess the fierce natures and long, vengeful memories of expert grudge holders. Others avoid conflict at every turn, or so they tell themselves. For all of them, grief lies at the core of love.
Learn more about Colette and find links to purchase Once Removed here: https://colettesartor.com/books/
WHAT TO BRING:
- A copy of the book, if you want to have it signed by Colette.
- Something for the potluck – food, beverage, paper plates… Once RSVP’d, we will reach out to coordinate your “offering.”
- Questions to ask Colette during the Q&A portion of this evening.
We greatly look forward to seeing you at this event!
Sincerely,
Ursula, Swati, Susan, Robinne, Maria, Lisanne, Laura, Lauren, Jen, Eileen & Colette

7:30 p.m. on the Yale Campus (the location will be shared with registrants)
Join us for an event that combines education, community service, and the opportunity to hear from and mingle with an Oscar winner and other talented Yale undergraduates. We will learn about ways to reduce period poverty and period stigma both globally and in the New Haven community! As Sophie Ascheim ’22 found out when she was in high school, girls in the developing world who lack clean menstrual supplies often develop infections and other health problems and drop out of school. Along with teachers and parents, Sophie and two friends started a nonprofit, The Pad Project, and made a movie to change this. “Period. End of Sentence” shows how making low-cost pads with a specially designed machine empowered women and improved the economy in a rural Indian village. Earlier this year the film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short.
But period poverty is not exclusive to the developing world. Homeless and poor girls and women in the United States, including New Haven, also lack the products they need to handle their periods confidently. After viewing the documentary and engaging in a Q&A with Sophie, we will have a “packing party,” in which we will assemble kits of menstrual products that will be donated to New Haven agencies.
We’ll make the kits alongside members of [email protected], a student chapter of the national PERIOD organization, the largest youth-run nonprofit in women’s health. [email protected] members will order the menstrual supplies ahead of time from the national organization. There is a $5 cash registration fee, to be collected at the door, that will reimburse the Yale chapter for obtaining the supplies. Donations larger than $5 are most welcome.
Prior to viewing the film, we’ll have an optional, pay-as-you-go dinner at Yorkside Pizza at 6:00 p.m. The event itself will start at 7:30 p.m. at a location to be announced to registrants.
Please RSVP by October 30th using the RSVP on this site below.
If you will also join before for dinner, please email Suzanne Solensky at [email protected]
Registration is limited to 100 people.
Co-sponsored by by Yale Alumni Nonprofit Alliance – New England (YANA), Yale School of Nursing Alumni Association, and 1stGenYale.
"The strongest creature on earth is not the elephant, not the tiger, but the girl."

Harvard Coop in Cambridge, MAYW-MA "Yale Needs Women" Book Tour Comes to Cambridge!
"If Yale was going to keep its standing as one of the top two or three colleges in the nation, the availability of women was an amenity it could no longer do without." In the winter of 1969, from big cities to small towns, young women across the country sent in applications to Yale University for the first time. The Ivy League institution dedicated to graduating "one thousand male leaders" each year had finally decided to open its doors to the nation's top female students. The landmark decision was a huge step forward for women's equality in education. Or was it?
About the Author:
Anne Gardiner Perkins is an award-winning historian and expert in higher education. She graduated from Yale University, where she won the Porter Prize in history and was elected the first woman editor in chief of the Yale Daily News. Perkins is a Rhodes Scholar who received her PhD in higher education from the University of Massachusetts Boston and her master's in public administration from Harvard, where she won the Littauer Award for academic excellence and served as a teaching fellow in education policy.

Register now!Ashton Applewhite
What if discrimination on the basis of age were as unacceptable as any other kind of prejudice? Ashton Applewhite is a leading voice in an emerging movement dedicated to dismantling ageism and making age a criterion for diversity. The author of This Chair Rocks and a TED2017 mainstage speaker, she reveals the untapped possibilities of late life – in our communities, at work, and in ourselves.
Why is society’s view of aging so grim when the lived reality is so different? In her book This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, Ashton Applewhite declares that it’s time to dismantle the last acceptable prejudice; it’s time for age pride. Her manifesto is so popular that Macmillan launched its brand new imprint with it in 2019. In her candid talks – as she does on her blog, This Chair Rocks, and her Q&A Tumblr, Yo, Is This Ageist? – she debunks our culture’s most pervasive myths about getting older. And with her funny, straight-talking approach, audiences realize the often-overlooked benefits of advanced age, championing the need for greater age-based diversity in the workplace and our institutions.
In 2018, Applewhite was named a member of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts’ “100” list. In 2016, Applewhite joined the PBS site Next Avenue’s annual list of 50 Influencers in Aging as their Influencer of the Year. She has been recognized by the New York Times, the New Yorker, NPR, and the American Society on Aging as an expert on ageism. She has written for Harper’s, The New York Times, and The Guardian. And she speaks widely, at venues that have ranged from universities and community centers to the Library of Congress and the United Nations.
Her first serious book, Cutting Loose: Why Women Who End Their Marriages Do So Well, was published by HarperCollins in 1997. It was inspired by the puzzlement: why was our notion of women’s lives after divorce so different from the happy and energized reality? Ms. magazine called it “rocket fuel for launching new lives.” Writing under the name Blanche Knott, Applewhite is also the author of the humor collection Truly Tasteless Jokes, a best-selling paperback of 1982. She was a clue on Jeopardy (“Who is the author of truly tasteless jokes?” Answer: “Blanche Knott.”) And as Blanche made publishing history by occupying four of the fifteen spots on The New York Times bestseller list.
Applewhite holds a bachelor’s degree from Kirkland College.
Diane T. Ashley
Diane T. Ashley was, most recently, a vice president and the Chief Diversity Officer in the executive office of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY). She was also director of FRBNY’s Dodd-Frank Act mandated Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI). An industry leader with more than 20 years of experience in diversity-related roles, Ashley launched the Federal Reserve System’s (FRS) first Office of Diversity and Inclusion in 2007.
A member of the Executive Leadership Council (ELC) since 2004, Ashley completed two terms as a board member. The ELC is the preeminent membership organization committed to increasing the number of global black executives in C-Suites, on corporate boards and in global enterprises. She is a Charter planning member of the ELC Women’s Leadership Forum. Notably, in 2010, she hosted ELC women to a private conversation with then-Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. She has been an active member on six non-profit boards. She currently serves on the boards of Rutgers University School of Business and the New York Theological Seminary, an accredited graduate institution, serving as board chair from 2002-2012.
Prior to joining the New York Fed in July 2007, Ashley worked for Citigroup for 10 years, with her last position being a senior vice president leading efforts in diversity recruitment, workforce diversity, and director of the supplier diversity program. Under her leadership, Citi’s spending with women and minorities increased from $400MM to $1B, with two pilot programs established in Europe.
Ashley holds a bachelor's degree in French from Yale University, a master's degree in human resources education from Boston University, and a juris doctorate degree from Rutgers University School of Law.

Private Home in Westwood, address upon r.s.v.p. in Los Angeles, CAAndean Fire Ceremony YWLA
ANDEAN FIRE CEREMONY
Sunday, April 28, 7pm-9pm
Please R.S.V.P. below
At a private residence in Westwood - address will be sent upon r.s.v.p.
Fire ceremonies are at the core of many shamanic traditions as a way to gather energies of Community and Nature, supporting us all to cleanse, redirect, and transform.
This event offers an opportunity to experience a traditional fire ceremony as practiced in the Peruvian High Andes. A guided inner exploration will open a window to reflect upon what attachments and patterns are ready to be released, and what healthy energies, feelings, and dreams desire to be called in.
Each participant will be invited to imbue their intentions symbolically into wooden sticks. These will be brought to the fire. The elders taught that when wood is burned, the energy held within is released.
Stepping into the fire circle, one will step into a ritual space—a space of non-ordinary consciousness–and be informed by the alchemical energy of the fire.
WHAT TO BRING:
A rattle, shaker, or drum if you have one.
Two (2) wooden sticks (dry).
To be used for different purposes.
Wool yarn or cotton thread, ribbon, etc. (nothing that has plastic in it)
Fresh flowers, herbs
Wear comfortable clothing
ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR:
Susan Reiner, a Yale alum, is a Shamanic practitioner. She has studied around the world with indigenous medicine people, from above the Arctic Circle to the jungles of Peru, and was initiated into the ancient Quechuan wisdom tradition in the holy mountains of the High Andes.
Her goal as a teacher, healer, and artist is to awaken each individual to the true essence of their individual power and beauty, uncovering the indigenous wisdom that resides in all of us.
With this clarity comes peace, grace, and harmony for our living planet and all of its elements.

Hidden City Philadelphia: North Central Philly Lost & Found
Please join us for a YaleWomen Philly and YBAA-Philadelphia co-sponsored private tour with the Hidden City Philadelphia Cultural Trust, on Saturday, April 27 from 11:00am - 1:00pm. Guests are welcome. This tour is limited to the first 25 registrants, so don’t delay in securing your admission! Tickets for this event are $25, a portion of which goes to the Church of the Advocate, pictured above.
The Tour
For stunning late Victorian Gothic Revival architecture combined with fascinating social history, it's tough to beat Church of the Advocate at 18th and Diamond, the final stop on this tour but the first thing we want to tell you about (we didn't want to bury the lede!). The church's progressive social practices began at its founding with the abolition of "pew rents" and reached their height in the 1960s and 70s when it hosted the Conference of Black Power, the Black Panther Conference and the first ordination of women in the Episcopal church. We'll step inside the church's magnificent sanctuary, where a series of 14 murals painted in the 1970s depict scenes from the African-American experience in the company of guide Judith Robinson, a longtime resident of neighboring Strawberry Mansion.
The tour will begin at Broad and Master, site of famed 19th century Shakespearean actor Edwin Forrest's mansion and now home to the Freedom Theater. We'll walk up Broad Street from there, and talk about Father Divine, the Columbia Avenue riots, Reverend Leon Sullivan's program of African-American economic empowerment, the long lost Monument Cemetery, Temple University's recent construction and expansion plans, plus a whole lot more. You'll never look at Philly the same way again. We guarantee it!
About Hidden City Philadelphia

We celebrate the power of place and inspire social action to make our city a better place to live, work, and play.

YaleWomen Connecticut
Curiosity and Conversations – with savories and sweets!
“Opening the aperture” about issues that affect women – engaging in conversations, discourse, and discovery. This is some of YaleWomen’s best work!
Join us for a thought provoking conversation about the issue of homeless: Who are the homeless? What are the causes of homelessness? What are the solutions?
With these Yale women alums – graduates of the Schools of Management, Nursing, and Public Health – who are making a difference:
- Madeline Ravich '09 MBA is the Development Advisor and Director of The BE HOMEFUL Project of the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness. She oversees all of CCEH’s fundraising efforts.
- Katherine McCormack '81 MPH, RN, MEP has worn many hats in service to the City of Hartford, including Director of Emergency Management and Director of Health.
- Linda Schwartz ’84 MSN and ’98 DrPH has worn many hats in service to veterans, including Commissioner of Veteran Affairs for the State of Connecticut and assistant secretary for policy and planning for the US Department of Veterans Affairs. Linda continues her work on women veteran issues with a program that began when she was Commissioner of Veteran Affairs, "Have You Ever Served?" which supports efforts to identify veterans in the community and with health care providers.
Introduced by Amy Levine Klein ’93, ’98 JD
Sunday afternoon, April 7, 2019
2 – 4 pm

At the Hartford home of Susan Lennon ’85 MPPM. Susan’s address and other details will be provided to those who RSVP.
RSVP no later than Sunday, March 31st
A YaleWomen Connecticut tradition: potluck refreshments! Savories – those whose last names begin with A through L. Sweets – those whose last names begin with M through Z. Susan will provide beverages.
Do you know? (sources: various)
- Homelessness is one of our nation’s most misunderstood and vexing social problems. Homelessness does not discriminate. Families with children, single adults, teenagers and older individuals of all races struggle with the devasting effects of homelessness.
- More families experience homelessness in the United States than in any other industrialized nation. Thirty-five percent (35%) of homeless persons are in family households (typically a single mother with two young children). Families are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population.
- One in 30 American children experience homelessness annually; 51% are under age five. More than 2.5 million children are homeless each year.
- Thirty-one percent (31%) of all homeless people are youths under the age of 24.
- While the number of veterans experiencing homelessness has decreased, veterans make up approximately 95% of all homeless adults – 90.8% are men and 8.5% are women.
- The lack of affordable housing is a primary cause of homelessness. (Homelessness and poverty are inextricably linked, affecting the ability to pay for housing, food, childcare, health care and education.)
- Domestic violence is also a primary cause of homelessness. Ninety-two percent (92%) of homeless women have experienced severe physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives, and 63% have been victims of intimate partner violence as adults.

To whet your appetite -- do you know?
This is a story that has launched more than three dozen search and recovery missions, and over the past 170+ years it has inspired novels, plays, songs, and TV shows such as the 2017 horror series Terror. Margaret Atwood called it the origin myth of disasters for Canadians. This is the first comprehensive exhibit on the Franklin Expedition since the ships were located, and travels to Mystic from London and Ottawa before moving on to Alaska. Learn the story and see the artifacts, some recovered from the shipwrecks as recently as 2016. All the major angles are covered, including:
- History – Possessed with a vast navy and extremely confident of its sailing prowess, Victorian England was obsessed with the Arctic, which represented their biggest hope of traversing the Northwest Passage, the much desired, possibly faster, trade route from Europe to Asia. In May 1845, Sir John Franklin and his 128-member crew set sail from London, England aboard HMS Erebus and Terror. They were last seen by Europeans in Baffin Bay, off the southwest corner of Greenland in July 1845. The enduring mystery of the Franklin Expedition is still unraveling.
- Anthropology and Indigenous Rights – Inuit oral histories have played a significant role in uncovering the fate of the Franklin Expedition. Their critical contributions include both traditional knowledge and oral histories relating to the European exploration of the Arctic Archipelago, which you can listen to on audio stations interspersed throughout the exhibition, and historical artifacts, some of which incorporated materials of European origin, which were traded from explorers or retrieved from abandoned ships.
- Underwater Archaeology – Parks Canada divers give a video tour of one wreck, and you’ll see the unbroken plates, glass bottles, and other daily items they’ve recovered from this remote dive site. With a short dive season entirely dependent on weather in the remote Canadian Arctic, each year the archaeologists plan for the worst, but hope to get even a few days on the wrecks to explore, document, and recover more evidence of what happened onboard.
- Forensics – In examining tissues collected from human remains recovered from Beechey Island, forensic anthropologists found that the amount of lead in the bones of some of the men was exponentially high, leading to the theory that lead poisoning may have been one of the factors contributing to the expedition’s demise. Other factors include scurvy and starvation, and perhaps cannibalism. DNA analysis has also matched crew members with descendants.
- Climate change – As the Northwest Passage has become more accessible to ships and boats of all types, the race to find and preserve the Franklin Expedition ships and camp sites has intensified. Learn how the Expedition suffered due to unexpectedly thick seasonal ice that trapped their ships even in the summer.

First Watch in Meyerland Plaza areaYaleWomen Houston Book Club
High Performance Habits by Brendon Bouchard
Everyone self-reflects at the beginning of a new year and commits to completing a new set of resolutions. This year, try something new. Bring your resolutions and meet with a small, tight knit group of Yale Women who will hold you accountable for the growth necessary to achieve them.
Yale Women is dedicated to educating and elevating personal performance and leadership qualities by increasing knowledge and skills in the areas of high performance, authentic leadership and gender intelligence. If you can’t shake that feeling that you aren’t quite where you wanted or expected to be in life, this group is for you.
We have a treasure trove of deeply knowledgeable, committed and successful women who have likely faced, overcome or helped others overcome the same issues. If you can define for yourself where you want to be, your fellow Yale Women will help you stay accountable for moving forward.
This is more than a “book club” it’s a venue for members to gain a deeper insight into themselves through the books we read and be held accountable for follow-through skill building that will help each of us move from our current state closer to our desired future state.
We meet bi-monthly on the second Sunday beginning January 13th from 1-3pmat First Watch in Meyerland Plaza Area. Reach out to your host, Stefani Kirchhoff, with any questions ([email protected]).
The first growth challenge for each of us is to mine High Performance Habits by Brendon Bouchard for the habits you need to focus on in 2019 to move closer to your desired future state.

**** Founded in 2011, YaleWomen is a community of alums – at the global and chapter levels – across Yale College and the Graduate & Professional Schools, and across years, geography and personal and professional interests as well as a broad range of different experiences, perspectives, and opinions. As part of its mission, YaleWomen is committed to advancing women’s voices and perspectives. YaleWomen encourages its members at the global, national, and local levels to advance the issues they believe in by engaging in the public policy and electoral process, advocating for changes in particular areas of society, and providing education about such matters. As a 501c3, YaleWomen must do so within the constraints imposed by IRS rules regarding prohibiting lobbying, advocacy, and partisan activity. One of YaleWomen’s greatest strengths is inclusivity – bringing together and learning from the plurality of our voices, in ways that are both respectful and civil. Inclusivity is, in fact, one of YaleWomen’s core values. The plurality of voices – Yale women alums’ voices – produces democracy! ****

Huntington Theatre Company South End / Calderwood Pavillion at the BCAYW Boston The Niceties
Please join YaleWomen Boston for a special opportunity to meet playwright Eleanor Burgess ’07 during the August 31st through October 6th run of her play The Niceties at the Huntington Theatre Company! A Brookline native, Eleanor describes The Niceties as “a story about academic power and liberal dogmas, about frighteningly smart people and the stories we tell ourselves about history – it’s made for this city.” After the 2 pm performance on the 29th, Eleanor will be doing a talkback, focusing on how we talk about and teach history, including painful elements of American history. For those interested in gathering for lunch before the performance, we will make a reservation at The Beehive at 12:15 pm. Please rsvp here so that we can reserve enough seats at the restaurant. You must purchase your own ticket to the play.
The Washington Post describes The Niceties as “a barnburner of a play! Destined to be performed everywhere. One of the best plays I’ve seen about who gets to tell the story of America, and how.”
Learn more or purchase tickets at the Huntington Theatre website.

Prudence Crandall MuseumYW-CT Museum Trail - Prudence Crandall Museum
YaleWomen Connecticut is happy to announce our next stop on the Museum Trail – the Prudence Crandall Museum in Canterbury, CT. Join us on Saturday, September 29 as we visit the home of New England’s first educational academy for African-American women (1833-1834). The museum is a National Historic Landmark and a State Archaeological Preserve. We will take in the general museum offerings and also enjoy a guided tour of the museum’s newest exhibit, “The Story Outlives the Canvas,” which explores the history and legacy of the famous portrait of Prudence Crandall. Our interpreter for this portion of the visit will be Lisa Joseph, the curator of the exhibit.
Exploring the life of Prudence Crandall (1803-1890), Connecticut’s State Heroine, prompts relevant reflection on life in America throughout history. Her commitment to teaching African-American women made her a national symbol for abolition, and local response was swift and strong in its opposition. Harassment and mob violence forced the school to close in 1834. Prudence Crandall’s legacy in legislation and court battles includes the 1833 CT “Black Law”, the 1857 Dredd Scott arguments, and also the 1954 Brown Vs. Board of Education of Topeka.
I said in my heart, here are my convictions. What shall I do? Shall I be inactive and permit prejudice, the mother of abominations, to remain undisturbed? Or shall I venture to enlist in the ranks of those who with the Sword of Truth dare hold combat with prevailing iniquity? I contemplated for a while the manner in which I might best serve the people of color. As wealth was not mine, I saw no other means of benefiting them, than by imparting to those of my own sex that were anxious to learn, all the instruction I might be able to give, however small the amount. - PRUDENCE CRANDALL, 1833

Mona Bismarck American Center for Art & Culture (Avenue de New York 75016 Paris)Celebrating Bolcolm in Paris: Rayanne Dupuis, soprano
Rayanne Dupuis, soprano & Guy Livingston, pianist honour the 80th birthday of a titan of American classical music, William Bolcom. William Bolcom and his wife Joan Morris will be in attendance, and Bolcom has composed for us a set of songs which we will be premiering. The music encompasses many styles - much is quite “jazzy” in feel, especially his Cabaret Songs, of which we will performing a selection. There will be a Q and A with the composer during the event and then an informal drink after the concert. It should be a properly festive event!
It is highly advisable to reserve a spot ahead of time for the concert. https://www.monabismarck.org/events/a-bolcom-birthday-celebration-in-song
***
William Bolcom
William Bolcom (b. 1938) is one of the most versatile contemporary American composers, writing chamber music, piano works, song cycles, concertos, music theatre, opera, and symphonies, displaying a mastery of many different compositional styles.
Although not given to radical experimentation, he consciously avoids blindly following European styles, whether old or contemporary. He describes Charles Ives as his greatest influence, and in his operas and stage works he chooses to set pieces about American characters by American authors, and includes idioms such as ragtime and jazz in his works. In addition to this wide stylistic diversity, his works often display a trenchant sense of humor. He is also a noted performer, and in 1973 his recording of the complete piano music of Gershwin was named Stereo Review's Record of the Year. He and his wife mezzo-soprano Joan Morris have made over 20 recordings of American popular song.
Bolcom began studying composition with John Verrall at the age of 11. After receiving his bachelor's degree from the University of Washington, he studied with Darius Milhaud at Mills College. In 1960, Milhaud took Bolcom to Paris, where he also worked with Olivier Messiaen. In 1961 Bolcom went on to study with Leland Smith at Stanford. After earning his doctorate in composition there in 1964, he won the Marc Blitzstein Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters for Dynamite Tonite, a piece that shows the influence of Milhaud and the Parisian cabarets. (His Casino Paradise, written in 1990, while still cabaret-style, shows more of an individual voice.) He returned to the Paris Conservatoire in 1964, and graduated in 1965, winning the second prize in that year's composition competition, as well as the first of two Guggenheim Fellowships. Bolcom won two Koussevitzky Foundation Awards, in 1976 and 1993, for the First Piano Quartet, and the Lyric Concerto for flute and orchestra, respectively.
He has been commissioned by many of America's greatest musical institutions, including the orchestras of Philadelphia, St. Louis, Seattle, New York, Baltimore, Boston, and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. His commissions include numerous works for some of the greatest singers of our time, including Placido Domingo, Marilyn Horne, and Catherine Malfitano.
In 1988, he won the Pulitzer Prize in music for his 12 New Etudes for Piano. His most ambitious composition, which occupied him for 25 years, is a complete setting of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience, for soloists, chorus, and orchestra, which received its premiere at the Stuttgart Opera in 1984. A recording of the work, featuring the orchestras and choruses of the University of Michigan conducted by Leonard Slatkin, won three Grammy Awards in 2006, for Best Choral Performance, Best Classical Contemporary Composition, and Best Classical Album. In 2007, Musical America named Bolcom composer of the year.
Bolcom has composed three operas, commissioned by the Lyric Opera of Chicago, all of which he wrote with librettist and long-time collaborator, Arnold Weinstein. McTeague (1992), conducted by Dennis Russell Davies, starred Ben Heppner and Catherine Malfitano. Weinstein collaborated with playwright Arthur Miller on the libretto for A View from the Bridge (1999), which was subsequently presented by the Metropolitan Opera in 2002. His third opera, A Wedding, is based on the film of the same name by Robert Altman, who worked on the libretto with Weinstein. It received its premiere in Chicago in 2004. His latest opera, Dinner at Eight (based on the play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber), was premiered in March 2017 at Minnesota Opera. The European premiere is scheduled at the Wexford Opera Festival, fall 2018.
From 1973 to 2008, Bolcom taught at the University of Michigan. He became a full professor there in 1983, and in 1994 he was named the Ross Lee Finney Distinguished University Professor of Music. Bolcom also holds honorary doctorates from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and Albion College.

One World Trade CenterYW-CT - Guided Tour of One World Trade Center, NYC
Guided Tour of One World Trade Center, New York City – April 28th – YaleWomen Connecticut is thrilled to announce a Museum Trail stop for Saturday, April 28 at the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. Join NEH Public Scholar and New York Times bestseller author Judith Dupré (MDiv ‘11) on a special, behind-the-scenes tour of the Trade Center, the most complex and intensely scrutinized project in recent memory.
Judith will take us through the controversies, negotiations, and agreements that ultimately yielded the triumphant One World Trade Center, the most advanced skyscraper in the world—and one with an impossible task: to stand for everything that was lost, and reclaimed, after 9/11. The only writer given unfettered access to the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey’s site, archives, and suppliers, she will share insights from the experts. You will hear about this tower and the other eight structures on the site just as Judith did—from those who designed and built it.
We will consider the sixteen-acre site in its entirety, and discover the many physical and symbolic connections that exist between One WTC and Two, Three, Four, and Seven World Trade Center; the National September 11 Memorial & Museum; Liberty Park; St. Nicholas National Shrine; and the Transportation Hub. Judith will address the challenges of writing about a place that is wholly new—yet irrevocably bound to the past.
WHEN: Saturday, April 28; 10:30 Tour with Judith Dupré
WHERE: We will meet at northeast corner of Liberty and Greenwich Streets (Outside Four World Trade Center).
COST: $25
PLEASE NOTE: Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring an umbrella. If it's raining, we can take some (not all) indoor routes through the WTC.
RSVP: to Karen Warner ([email protected]) by April 20th. The minimum number for this event is 20. If we do not reach that number, the event will be cancelled.
After the tour, we welcome everyone to gather together for an optional brunch in Eataly NYC Downtown:
4 World Trade Center
101 Liberty Street, Floor 3
New York, NY 10007
https://www.eataly.com/us_en/stores/nyc-downtown/
Eataly has a number of dining options: various upscale food courts as well as a fine dining room. It will likely be difficult to seat the entire group in the same area, but we encourage everyone (strongly) to eat at Eataly to avoid a postprandial search expedition!
In the afternoon you might consider visiting the following:
- 9/11 Memorial Museum: You will need to purchase tickets in advance for this. They are $25.
- One World Trade Center Observatory: Tickets are $34.

Home of Karen PeckYaleWomen Houston Book Club: The Growers Club
Express Your Interest in a YaleWomen Houston Book Club
Do you miss that Yale experience of being surrounded by motivated individuals who inspired you to grow and change? We would like to recreate that experience for you by offering a YaleWomen (and their friends) book club we are calling the Growers Club, which will be a community of women focused on growth through education & mutual mentoring. We will encourage each member to elevate their personal performance and leadership characteristics through increased knowledge and skills in the areas of high performance, authentic leadership and gender intelligence.
The format would be to meet every 45 days to discuss a book in a 1.5-2 hr. facilitated discussion. The first proposed book would be High Performance Habits by B. Bouchard. Our goal would be to confirm membership and finalize book selection by March 1 with our first meeting to be held mid-April.

Barnum MuseumYaleWomen CT - Museum Trail - Barnum Museum
YaleWomen would like to announce our next stop on the Museum Trail will be the (rescheduled!) visit to the historic Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, CT. Join us on Saturday, January 27 for a private tour with the museum’s Executive Director, Kathleen Maher, followed by a hard hat tour of the distinctive building's restoration.
Conceived and constructed by American entrepreneur, showman, and politician P.T. Barnum (1810-1891), The Barnum Museum has served an international audience since 1893. P.T. Barnum's impact reaches deep into our American heritage and the story of his vast collection and contributions are preserved in his Bridgeport museum. The ornate, exotic building is a distinguishing feature of the City of Bridgeport.
In 2010 the Barnum Museum was struck by an EF1 tornado, significantly damaging the historic landmark. The building sustained additional damage from hurricanes Irene and Sandy. While going through the re-building and re-envisioning process, a portion of the museum’s collection is on view in an ancillary space located BEHIND the museum in the adjacent People's United Bank Gallery. The 5,000-foot site houses thousands of objects that were out-loaded from the museum's historic building for safety and conservation following the tornado. Tour limited to ages 15 and up due to the rough state of the construction site.
(Also: Barnum and Bridgeport are getting the Hollywood treatment. The Greatest Showman musical biopic starring Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum comes to theaters December 20.)
WHEN:
Saturday, January 27; 10:30pm Tour; 12:15 Optional BrunchWHERE:
behind the Barnum Museum

Bridgeport, Connecticut 06604(*The Museum offices and exhibit gallery are now located in the People's United Bank Gallery (the modern wing at the rear of the historic building). Follow signs pointing to the entrance from the plaza.)

Connecticut Food BankYaleWomen-CT - Hunger 101 - Connecticut Food Bank Service Event
In Connecticut, one in seven households can’t always afford the food they need. Join us for a repeat of our popular community service project addressing hunger in the state of Connecticut. This event will begin with a volunteer project – sorting food at the Connecticut Food Bank’s Wallingford warehouse – and will be followed by participation in the Connecticut Food Bank’s Hunger 101 interactive group learning experience. Founded in 1982, the Connecticut Food Bank partners with food retailers, growers, donors and volunteers to source food and distribute it in Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London and Windham Counties through a network of community-based programs, including food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, residential programs and day programs that serve adults and children. Hunger 101 gives people a taste of what food insecurity—or hunger—really is. Participants walk in someone else’s shoes and see firsthand what it’s like to struggle with poverty and food insecurity in Connecticut. Hunger 101 captures the daily stress of hunger as you learn how to feed a family for a day with limited resources.
Date: Saturday, November 11, 2017
Time: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Location: Connecticut Food Bank, 2 Research Parkway, Wallingford, CT 06492

**** Founded in 2011, YaleWomen is a community of alums – at the global and chapter levels – across Yale College and the Graduate & Professional Schools, and across years, geography and personal and professional interests as well as a broad range of different experiences, perspectives, and opinions. As part of its mission, YaleWomen is committed to advancing women’s voices and perspectives. YaleWomen encourages its members at the global, national, and local levels to advance the issues they believe in by engaging in the public policy and electoral process, advocating for changes in particular areas of society, and providing education about such matters. As a 501c3, YaleWomen must do so within the constraints imposed by IRS rules regarding prohibiting lobbying, advocacy, and partisan activity. One of YaleWomen’s greatest strengths is inclusivity – bringing together and learning from the plurality of our voices, in ways that are both respectful and civil. Inclusivity is, in fact, one of YaleWomen’s core values. The plurality of voices – Yale women alums’ voices – produces democracy! ****

Mystic Seaport
(http://www.mysticseaport.org/)
75 Greenmanville Avenue, Mystic, CT
Join us as Elysa takes us on a journey at the juxtaposition of two current exhibits, On Land and On Sea and SeaChange, one a “flat” photography show featuring images of women from the last century and the other a more “experimental” approach for a history museum.
As Director of Exhibits at Mystic Seaport, Elysa is responsible for creating and delivering an ongoing program of dynamic, interdisciplinary exhibits, in formal galleries, family activity spaces, and on vessels and grounds. With the opening of the new Thompson Exhibition Building (designed by Centerbrook Architects and Planners, the architectural firm that also designed Kroon Hall at the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies), and the design and production of the inaugural exhibit in the Collins Gallery, SeaChange, Elysa and her team are transforming informal learning experiences for Mystic Seaport visitors.
10 am – Meet in the lobby of the Thompson Exhibition Building at the North Entrance on Route 27 to purchase your tickets. Elysa will tee us up for what we need to observe and look for in the two very different exhibits we will visit.
Noonish – lunch and afternoon on your own. There are different dining options at the Seaport, including the Galley. Many may choose to eat together and continue the conversation! There is no shortage of things to do and explore at the Seaport – especially for kids and families!
Admission
Adult – $28.95
Senior (ages 65+) – $26.95
Youth (ages 4-14) – $18.95
Children (3 and younger) – FreeOn Land and On Sea: A Century of Women in the Rosenfeld Collection
Professional photographers Morris Rosenfeld and Sons are best known for their stunning images of large racing yachts under sail. But they also captured images of people and everyday events, both off the water and on. On Land and On Sea: A Century of Women in the Rosenfeld Collection displays 70 images of ordinary and exceptional girls and women for the first time. From aviators and athletes to telephone operators training and suffragettes on the march in New York City, each photo provides a fascinating glimpse into the social history of 20th-century women as depicted in commercial photography, from young girls having fun messing about on small boats to fashion models and society matrons.
SeaChange presents a range of striking, surprising, and unusual objects drawn from the rich collections of Mystic Seaport. In keeping with the bold design, clean lines, and natural materials of the Thompson Building, the exhibit design uses large, free-standing abstract structures evocative of sails or icebergs to frame each central artifact, taking advantage of the soaring heights in the Collins Gallery. The overall effect is visually stunning, an inviting space that entices visitors to contemplate, discover, discuss and return to the exhibit. SeaChange extends the sensory approach beyond the visual. The custom-created interactives will give people the chance to peer inside a 1740s English ship model, test the principles behind dazzling World War I ship camouflage, and zoom-in to see the tiny carved cuts on modern miniature figureheads. A range of public programs will complement the gallery experience and further explore the “sea change” that links stories from around the world to our own.
RSVP to Susan Lennon ’85 MPPM ([email protected]) no later than Saturday, July 1st.

“I asked: ‘Why did a man and woman earn different salaries?’ He said: ‘I made the same offer. He negotiated; she accepted.’”
Donna Dubinsky ’77, speaking at YaleWomen’s 2013 inaugural conference, “Vision, Values, Voice: Women Changing a Changing World.”YaleWomen presents…
Lean In for Compensation: Salary NegotiationJoin us for our next one-hour webinar, Lean In for Compensation: Salary Negotiation, with Deb Ellis ’78 (’82 JD, NYU School of Law).

Typically, women working full time in nearly every occupation in the United States are paid just 80% of what men are paid. For women of color and for mothers, the pay gap is even wider. (Source: http://www.aauw.org/research/the-simple-truth-about-the-gender-pay-gap/)
Research shows that women are much less likely than men to negotiate their salaries, compounding earnings differentials throughout their careers. In this one-hour webinar, you will learn specific strategies for negotiating salary and other job benefits, including job title and workplace flexibility. You will increase your negotiating skills by observing a mock negotiation.
Deb Ellis brings her broad experience and expertise as a teacher, women’s rights lawyer, and law school career counselor to this webinar. During her career, Deb has served as Assistant Dean for Public Service at NYU School of Law, Legal Director of the ACLU-NJ, Legal Director of NOW Legal Defense Fund, adjunct professor at Yale College and NYU School of Law, and Executive Director of the NJ Coalition to End Homelessness. Deb currently serves as Director of Operations of NJ LEEP, which helps students graduate from high school, attend and graduate from competitive colleges, and begin careers. Deb has spoken and published widely on public interest legal careers and on women’s rights, and has received several awards for her leadership in social justice, including a 2011 White House Champion of Change Award.
Deb will engage us in a discussion of topics, including:
- Gender differences and how they affect how women think about negotiating, whether they negotiate, and how they negotiate
- The concept of negotiation, and how to make it a win-win experience
- The implications of the differentials in salary and other benefits throughout a woman’s career
You will be able to ask questions during the webinar via chat, get advice and gain a better understanding of what is available to you during the negotiating process. You can submit questions in advance by writing to [email protected] before Friday, June 9th.

Barnum MuseumYaleWomen CT - Museum Trail at the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport
The next stop on the YaleWomen Museum Trail will be the historic Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, CT. Join us on Saturday, May 6 for a private tour with the museum’s Executive Director Kathleen Maher, followed by a hard hat tour of the distinctive building's restoration. Ms. Maher has over 29 years’ experience working at museums that are additionally recognized as National Historic Sites. She is considered a leading authority on P.T. Barnum history and speaks extensively on Barnum subjects throughout the United States, including at the Yale school of Art.
Conceived and constructed by American entrepreneur, showman, and politician P.T. Barnum (1810-1891), The Barnum Museum has served an international audience since 1893. P.T. Barnum's impact reaches deep into our American heritage and the story of his vast collection and contributions are preserved in his Bridgeport museum. The ornate, exotic building is a distinguishing feature of the City of Bridgeport.
In 2010 the Barnum Museum was struck by an EF1 tornado, significantly damaging the historic landmark. The building sustained additional damage from hurricanes Irene and Sandy. While going through the re-building and re-envisioning process, a portion of the museum’s collection is on view in an ancillary space located BEHIND the museum in the adjacent People's United Bank Gallery. The 5,000-foot site houses thousands of objects that were out-loaded from the museum's historic building for safety and conservation following the tornado. (Limited to ages 15 and up due to the rough state of the construction site.)

Saturday, May 6; 1:00pm Tour; 11:30 BrunchWHERE:

First Lady Dolley Madison is often remembered as a hostess who saved the White House portrait of George Washington from British vandalism during the War of 1812. But in fact, she was the most influential woman in America during the nation’s formative years—a national, almost mythic figure. The unheard stories come to life on this fascinating tour of artworks, books, documents, clothing, jewelry, and housewares related to the life of Dolley Madison. Experience what it is like to take part in a “Wednesday night squeezes,” her popular social gatherings that drew a wide range of people to “squeeze” into the President’s mansion and encouraged informal diplomacy.
The New York Historical Society’s fourth floor has recently reopened as the Center for Women’s History, a cutting-edge museum and scholarship hub. This landmark initiative is the country’s first permanent, public exhibition and educational center dedicated to women’s history. It highlights the significance of women’s history to the study of the American past and demonstrate how women across the spectrum of race, class, and culture exercised power and brought about change even before they could access the ballot box. Guided by a committee of distinguished historians and informed by the latest research, the Center combines permanent installations, temporary exhibitions, and a vibrant program of talks and debates to enrich the cultural landscape of New York City.

YaleWomen Connecticut -- Curiosity and ConversationsYaleWomen Connecticut Curiosity and Conversations
Russia’s Women: The Rulers and The Ruled
The situation of women in Russia has changed dramatically from the reign of Catherine the Great through the Soviet era to the present time. It will continue to unfold – from the time we announce this event until our actual conversation – as we navigate the rapidly changing and sometimes uncertain world in which we live today.
Join us for what will be a thought provoking conversation with
Erin McBurney, PhD – ’81 BA, Yale College
and
Nadine Fraser, MD – ’12 MPH, Yale School of Public Health
Sunday afternoon, April 2, 2017
2 – 4 pm
At the Hartford home of Susan Lennon ’85 MPPM, School of Management. The address will be provided to those who RSVP.
RSVP no later than Sunday, March 26th to [email protected].
Erin graduated from Yale College in 1981 and completed her doctorate in Russian History at Columbia University in 2014. She studied in Leningrad in 1979 and then returned to post-Communist Russia to conduct dissertation research. In between, she served in the US Marines, worked for the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and taught at the London School of Economics. Erin is now an independent scholar whose research focuses on female sovereignty in 18th –century Russia. She lives in Branford.
Nadine was born in the Soviet Union, in the Far East city of Blagoveshchensk. After graduating from Amur State Medical Academy, she accepted a residency in St. Petersburg and worked in social medicine – with the most vulnerable, disabled, and chronically ill – in the midst of the full collapse of medical and public health systems in Russia in the 1990s. After marrying and moving to the US, Nadine worked with a major medical center in Western Massachusetts, first as the lead Russian interpreter for immigrant and refugee populations and later as a resident physician. After YSPH, she managed the Community Health department for the Connecticut Hospital Association, improving health equity and access to medical services for the underserved populations. Nadine now works with Hartford Healthcare Corporation improving healthcare quality as well as providing analytical support. She lives in Suffield.
Inspired by New York City’s venerable Russian Tea Room, our potluck refreshments will be tea sandwiches (last names beginning with A through L) and sweets (last names beginning with M through Z).

Private Homes in San Francisco and Los GatosYW Northern California Book Night: "Year of Yes"
Book Night: Year of Yes
Why wait for New Year's Day to start fresh? Say YES to 2017 now! YaleWomen in Northern California are kicking off the New Year reading television writer and producer Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes, her poignant, intimate, and hilarious memoir.
Rhimes' story starts with life before her Year of Yes, beginning with her nerdy, book-loving childhood creating imaginary friends, through to her domination of Thursday night television, including Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder. But despite her wild success and general badassery, something was holding her back. She chronicles her Year of Yes challenge: when the introverted Rhimes says "yes" to giving the Dartmouth Commencement speech, "yes" to her health, "yes" to play, and "yes" to exploring, applauding, and loving her true self. Start your New Year with a "Yes" challenge and join us for Book Night in January!
We have two confirmed gathering locations in San Francisco and Los Gatos.
Please RSVP at https://ywbooknight-rhimes.eventbrite.com. Reading not required ;-)
We aim to organize groups throughout the Bay Area, and are limited by the number of hostesses who volunteer. Please consider hosting a small group of 6-10 Yale women. Contact us at [email protected] so we can help coordinate attendees.

YWCA of Utah in Salt Lake City, UTYWUtah - Brunch with Patti Russo
YaleWomen Utah is once again thrilled to have Patti Russo, of the Women's Campaign School at Yale (WCSYale), come visit us here in SLC on Sunday, January 15th! We will be hosting an informal potluck brunch with Patti beginning at 11:30am at the YWCA of Utah, and would ask those in attendance to bring a dish and/or beverage.
The free event is not only for those women who might currently be interested in running for political office, but is also for those who support greater participation by women in elected office. Patti would like to cast her net wide while sharing WCSYale's message: Get Inspired! Get Trained! Get Elected!
Patti's visit, just days before Inauguration Day, will surely be every bit as engaging and uplifting as Patti's last stop in Utah. However, as the United States now ranks 99th on the list of countries with the most women in elected office, the issue of women in politics is an urgent one, and Patti's visit takes on a more serious tone following the November elections. We are excited about all that Patti will share with us about this critical time for women in the political arena!
Some additional information about the state of women in politics: New Republic's "For Women in Politics, the Glass Ceiling Is Now Higher Than Ever"
The Women's Campaign School at Yale University (WCSYale) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase the number and influence of women in elected and appointed office in the United States and around the globe. Its signature program is a five day, non-partisan, issue-neutral leadership political campaign training intensive and is held at the Yale Law School. This year the Women's Campaign School at Yale University celebrates over twenty years of inspiring and training women to lead.

Tailored Home in Philadelphia, PAYaleWomen Greater Philadelphia: Women in Politics, a Discussion
Stepping off of our of our July conversation with Patti Russo, director of the Women’s Campaign School at Yale, and on the heels of the election, please join us as we gather to discuss how we can support women's voices and perspectives in politics from a local to a national level.
You will remember that the Women's Campaign School at Yale University is a non-partisan, issue-neutral leadership program, whose mission is to increase the number and influence of women in elected and appointed office in the United States and around the globe. While the number of women in Congress and the House of Representatives has dramatically increased over the last 20 years, the United States still ranks 82nd worldwide in the percentage of women in our national legislature. The recent election has not improved that statistic!
There is plenty that can be done in addition to running for office, and we hope this conversation will help develop some ideas we can move forward with.

YaleWomen Presents: Women in Politics Webinar
Join YaleWomen for a lively non-partisan webinar conversation with Q&A about the importance of Women in Politics with Patricia Russo, Executive Director, Women’s Campaign School at Yale University, and Kathryn Lofton, PhD, Professor of Religious Studies, American Studies, History, Divinity, and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Faculty of Arts and Sciences Deputy for Diversity and Faculty Development, Yale University.
In 2016, women remain underrepresented in elective political office, comprising only 19.4% of the US Congress, 24.4% of statewide elective offices, and 24.6% of state legislatures. Do you know that when women run for political office, they win at the same rate as men? But women in the United States are not running. Why not? What barriers—both internal and external—are holding women back? Does it matter whether women are creating the laws we live by? Do women govern differently than men?
Register today to join this live conversation. Send questions for the panelists to: [email protected].

October 6, 2016

Facebook RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/1753898071533470/
About the book: On the evening of November 4, 2008, as news of Barack Obama's presidential victory spread, television footage depicted the emotional reactions of people across the country and the globe. As Obama gave his acceptance speech in Grant Park that night, the camera focused on those in the audience who were overjoyed, tears streaming down their faces. People cheered. Spontaneous and joyful celebrations broke out in the streets. Change had finally come.
Analysts describe Barack Obama's success as "unheard of" -- a meteoric rise -- leaving many in the elite political circles astonished at what he had accomplished in his campaign. With his success, many questions arose: How was a junior senator from Chicago able to do this? Why does he evoke such strong reactions? What cultural shifts took place in American society for this to happen? Do we now live in a post-racial society, and what will this mean for the next generation?
In Obama on Our Minds, Dr. Lori A. Barker '86 leads a team of expert multicultural theorists and researchers studying racism, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, and immigration to answer these questions and analyze the enormous impact of this groundbreaking event in our nation's history.
About the author: Dr. Lori A. Barker '86 is a professor in the Psychology and Sociology Department at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona). She received her BA in psychology from Yale University and her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from UCLA. After receiving her degree, Dr. Barker spent one additional year at UCLA as a National Institute of Mental Health postdoctoral research fellow. Dr. Barker is a licensed clinical psychologist has a small private practice in Riverside, California. -

YaleWomen CT Museum Trail - 8th Stop - Bruce MuseumMuseum Trail - Bruce - Women artists
Join us for the 8th stop on our Museum Trail – we are circling back to the Bruce Museum of Arts and Science in Greenwich. Susan Ball '78 PhD, Deputy Director, will lead us on tour of their new exhibit “Her Crowd: New Art by Women from Our Neighbors’ Private Collections”.
Only yesterday, it seems, one was hard-pressed to name more than a handful of successful women artists; now the list would be extensive, and the choices rich and varied. Although numerous recent exhibitions have featured women’s art, scant attention has been paid to the collecting of art created by women. In fact, private collections are in the process of being dramatically transformed. Greenwich and nearby communities in Fairfield and Westchester counties are home to a number of the finest contemporary collections, and thus to some of the most exciting art being made today.
Her Crowd will offer the rare opportunity to see what some of America’s most influential collectors of contemporary art consider beautiful, important, and compelling.

The Broad Museum in Los Angeles, CAYaleWomenLA curated tour of Cindy Sherman at the Broad
Please join YaleWomenLA on Thursday, September 29 at 6 PM for a fabulous private tour of the Cindy Sherman exhibition, Imitation of Life with the curator of the show at The Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles. Tickets are $35 and reflect the actual cost of the event. Please note that we will be unable to process any refunds. Tickets can be purchased on the Eventbrite link below.
The Broad’s first special exhibition is a comprehensive survey of the work of artist Cindy Sherman. Cindy Sherman: Imitation of Life is the first major museum show of Sherman’s work in Los Angeles in nearly 20 years, and the exhibition fills The Broad’s first-floor galleries with 120 works drawn primarily from the Broad collection with key loans from other institutions.
Organized by guest curator Philipp Kaiser, and taking cues from Los Angeles’ role as the mecca of the film industry, this exhibition foregrounds Cindy Sherman's engagement with 20th century popular film and celebrity. The exhibition features an expansive representation of Sherman’s photographs from throughout her influential career of more than four decades, as well as Office Killer, the 1997 feature film directed by the artist. Her widely known Untitled Film Stills series, as well as the less known rear projection series, both inspired by cinema of the 1950s and 1960s, play a central conceptual role in the show, and the show includes many works never before exhibited in Los Angeles.

Women at Yale: A Tour
http://visitorcenter.yale.edu/book/women-yale
Saturday, July 16, 2016
Join us as Alice Moore ’04 MFA, ’07 DFA, ’09 MA and ’15 PhD guides us on a tour that journeys through the varied histories and iconographies of women on campus in spaces, places and stories, beginning with the inception of Yale College over three centuries ago.
Immediately following the tour, there will be an optional pay-as-you-go brunch/lunch at Harvest Restaurant http://harvestwinebar.com/new-haven/ located at 1104 Chapel Street, New Haven.
Tour begins at 10:00 a.m. (Location on campus to be emailed to participants)
Brunch/lunch will follow immediately, around 11:30 am/12:00 noon
Space is limited to 20 people. RSVP on this page for the tour and brunch/lunch no later than Saturday, July 9th (questions to Susan Lennon ’85 MPPM at [email protected]).
While there is no fee for the tour, there is a $100 honorarium that will be divided equally among all attendees (e.g., $100/20 attendees = $5 – if there are fewer than 20 attendees, the share of the honorarium will increase). The place where we will meet to begin the tour will be provided to those who register. If you register and your plans change and are no longer able to join us, please let Susan know so that we can open your slot to an alum on the wait list.
We look forward to seeing you! As we approach the 50th anniversary of women at Yale College and 150th anniversary of women at the Graduate & Professional Schools in 2019, we hope you will leave this tour continuing to look for evidence of women and men co-living, co-learning, co-teaching, and co-operating here at Yale and beyond.
About Alice Moore
Alice Rebecca Moore, PhD, has been preoccupied for years with Yale’s gendered spaces, iconographies, and histories. In 2009, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the coeducation of Yale College as well as the 140th anniversary of the coeducation of the Graduate & Professional Schools, she shaped Women at Yale: A Tour in conjunction with Yale’s Women Faculty Forum and with the sponsorship of Nancy Alexander ’79 and Phillip Bernstein ’79. Alice’s scholarly work centers on questions of memory, public history, and representation in performance, visual culture, and the built environment. Alice earned her PhD in American Studies at Yale, MFA in Dramaturgy and Dramatic Criticism from the Yale School of Drama, and BA in Theatre and German Literature from Wesleyan University.

Private Homes in San Francisco and Los GatosNorCal Book Night: Euphoria
Desire – for knowledge, fame or another person – is only fleetingly felt, in a moment of Euphoria. In this tale of euphoria, three young anthropologists meet in 1930's New Guinea and settle in to jointly study the Tam, a female-dominated tribe. Their work draws them together, but their diverse research methods bring them into conflict, as does the love triangle that develops. King uses events in the life of Margaret Mead to inspire this intellectual and erotic tale of the moral contradictions that propelled encounters with remote peoples in the heyday of Western anthropology.
We have two confirmed gathering locations in San Francisco and Los Gatos. Please RSVP at https://ywbooknight-euphoria.eventbrite.com -

Confidence when it Counts: Rise Above Self Criticism and Bias to Maximize your Influence and Earnings
Join us for a webinar on June 8, 2016 from 1-2 pm EDT with Sharon Melnick, Ph.D. (Yale College 1988).
Bridging her psychology research at Harvard Medical School and current research on gender bias, Sharon Melnick, Ph.D. will provide insights on how to navigate obstacles so you can advance and be recognized for your talents.
Learn how to:
- Determine whether barriers to recognition are due to Confidence, Influence, or Bias (and get fixes for each…)
- Close the gap between ‘knowing in your mind you are competent’ and not ‘feeling confident’
- Stay poised, not reactive, even in the face of frustrating or intimidating people
- Prevent your confidence from being worn down by workplace interactions
- Shift from being self-critical to being a critical thinker so you have excellence without exhaustion
And, as a BONUS, take the What Type of Leader are You assessment for personalized recommendations to match your leadership type. Then join the webinar to get practical strategies to live up to your potential.
Presenter: Sharon Melnick, Ph.D. (Yale College 1988)
Sharon Melnick, Ph.D. is the CEO of Horizon Point Inc. and is the best-selling author of Success Under Stress and Confidence when it Counts. Her advice has been featured on Forbes, Fox News, NYTimes Blog, Huffington Post, CBS, AmexOPEN and others. Click here for more information about Dr. Melnick.

One of our members, Francesca Cook (MPH ‘88) regularly supports one of the Yale Day of Service sites, A Wider Circle, so we encourage members to meet up on May 7th at A Wider Circle. Details about this service site are available on Yale Day of Service website at: http://yaledayofservice.org/find-service-site/silver-spring-wider-circle-1 A Wider Circle serves individuals and families who are transitioning out of homelessness. Most of the clients live in apartments that are nearly empty and sleep on the floor and store their clothes in plastic bags. Volunteers are encouraged to help the clients select and pack items and hardy volunteers can also help them load up their cars, vans and trucks. (The Yale Day of Service includes sites throughout the city if this location is not convenient for you.)
About the Yale Day of Service: In the spring of 2015, at nearly 300 sites around the world, members of the Yale community helped to make their neighborhoods a better place by participating in the Yale Day of Service. This year, the Yale Club of Washington is hosting a wide range of service opportunities, making a direct difference in our local community. Please join us on May 7, 2016. This is a great opportunity to serve at your local community organization, join a local cause, or start serving. Site Coordinators are needed and we welcome family friendly, young-alumni, and a wide range of service sites. Interested?

Alum's Home in WoodbridgeYaleWomen-CT Work/Life Balance #2
Redeux! Continuing a conversation YaleWomen Connecticut began in November
Curiosity & Conversations: Finding Work/Life Balance
What is work/life balance? Can we -- how do we – achieve it?
Are you struggling to find balance between your professional and personal lives? Do you feel that your professional and personal lives pull you in different directions? Would you like to talk with other Yale women about how they are figuring out “how to have it all”?
Join Yale women alums from Yale College and the Graduate & Professional Schools, and from all walks of life in a conversation about the topic that is making headlines everywhere: what is work/life balance and how do we achieve it?
To whet your appetite for what promises to be another rich and thought provoking conversation, we offer the following “food for thought” –
Questions to think about:
- What is your definition of balance?
- Has your definition of balance changed over the course of your career? If so, how has it changed and how did you address how you found balance over time, one way or the other?
- How does finding balance “jive” with staying competitive in your line of work?
- Can women have it all – find balance and stay at the top? If so – how?
- Advice for younger women? What do we tell the next generation of women who are facing these same issues?
- What are your core values behind the topic of work/life balance?
Recommended viewings and readings:
We’ve posted a number of relevant pieces on the YaleWomen Connecticut Facebook page – we highly recommend the following for April’s conversation –
-

RSVP by Monday, April 18, 2016
The Women's Campaign School at Yale University is a non-partisan, issue-neutral leadership program, whose mission is to increase the number and influence of women in elected and appointed office in the United States and around the globe. This year the Women's Campaign School at Yale University celebrates over twenty years of inspiring and training women to lead.
The number of women in Congress and the House of Representatives has dramatically increased over the last 20 years, yet the United States still ranks 82nd worldwide in the percentage of women in our national legislature.
“Let’s take our Congress, for example. Presently, of the 100 seats which comprise the US Senate, only 17 women serve. In the House of Representatives, of the 435 seats there, only 71 women serve. We can do better. We owe it to our society to do better. It is our clarion call at the Women’s Campaign School at Yale.” Patti Russo Interview Forbes, April 2011

The Yale Women Faculty Forum invites the Yale community to join us to view a new portrait of Yale’s first women PhDs, awarded in 1894. Celebrate this historic event for graduate coeducation. Yale’s decision to accept women would forever change academia and the course of women’s advancement. The first cohort of women graduates made an indelible mark on American culture as professors, writers, scientists, and activists. The Brooklyn based artist Brenda Zlamany has painted an inspiring portrait of these pioneers.
To learn more about the history of graduate coeducation and about the artist’s process of painting the portrait, join us in the Sterling Memorial Library Lecture Hall on April 5th from 3:30-4:30. Talks will be given by artist Brenda Zlamany and Yale Chief Archivist Judith Schiff.

Respond directly to Denise Byrnes, Associate Director, Office of Career Strategy at [email protected].
Why participate in a Job Shadow or Yale Trek program?
These experiences will enable Yale students to:
-
Explore a career field of interest
• Gain "first-hand" knowledge of a real work environment and on-the-job etiquette
-
Connect directly with an alum/employer host, who can serve as an excellent resource for career, job and internship advice

Students can uncover possible internships and options for future careers
What are the benefits for my organization?

Connect directly with Yale undergraduate students, and students from the Yale Graduate School of Arts & Sciences
-
Gain access to potential summer interns and future employees

What is Job Shadowing?
Students shadow a host for one or more days. This provides students with a "day-in-the-life" perspective of your profession and allows them to gain first-hand knowledge about a career field.
What types of activities do Yale Treks involve?
Hosts may choose to arrange a variety of activities for students at their site to allow them to gain exposure to many facets of their organization and profession. Potential activities include:
-
Informational discussions/panels
-
Presentations

Informational interviews with colleagues

Case studies
-
Participation in meetings
-
Tours of the organization

Work-related projects which would give students a feel for the type of assignments entry-level employees or interns might participate in. Examples include research, data analysis, and editing.
What type of work experience do students bring?
These programs are designed for career exploration and are open to all undergraduates, as well as students from Yale Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. The primary intent of this experience is for students to learn more about their career interests. Students are not required or expected to have prior work experience or specific job skills to participate.
When do these programs take place?
You can host students during their Spring Break, March 14-25, 2016.
Can I host more than one student at my site?
Yes, this is left to the discretion of the hosts.
Can I combine Job Shadowing with a Yale Trek?
Yes, this is left to the discretion of the hosts.
Am I responsible for the student’s housing, transportation or other expenses?
No, the student’s expenses are paid in full by the student.
How does the application and selection process work?
-
Submit a Job Shadow and/or Yale Trek description to Denise Byrnes, Associate Director, Office of Career Strategy at [email protected]. Please include a brief description of your organization and the date/timing that works best for you to host students.

Regardless of your age or where you grew up, you’ll want to join us for a fun and thought provoking event about a time before suburban shopping malls and internet shopping, when Main Street USA was the place to shop and lunch – and about a woman in business, Beatrice Fox Auerbach, who was years ahead of her time!
In the 1950s, just about every major city had a landmark department store. In Hartford, it was G. Fox & Company. “Mention shopping to anyone who lived in the Hartford area during the 50s and 60s and they’ll tell you about taking the bus downtown, often in hat and gloves if you’re talking to a woman, on Saturdays, to spend the day browsing the shops and lunching in the restaurants that lined Main, Pearl, Pratt and Asylum Streets. But first and foremost, they’ll tell you about G. Fox – the iconic department store that anchored Hartford’s Main Street retail district from its founding in 1847 to its closing in 1993. Labeled ‘Connecticut’s Department Store’ it was known across the state for its Art Deco styling, merchandise, holiday displays, community events in Centinel Hill Hall, Connecticut Room restaurant and most of all, its legendary customer service.” (The Hartford Courant, February 25, 2014)
Beatrice Auerbach Fox, the woman who ran G. Fox from 1938 to 1965, not only set the standard for legendary customer service and innovative sales practices, she also established pioneering labor reforms. Some of Auerbach’s forward-looking innovations included free delivery service, a toll-free telephone order department, and fully automated billing. Auerbach was committed to her employees and she instituted fair labor standards that resulted in workplace reforms, including a five-day, 40-hour work week, and retirement plans. G. Fox was one of the first major retail stores in the country to hire black men and women for positions that gave them opportunities for advancement. These advancements helped G. Fox to become one of New England’s largest and most successful department stores and the largest privately-held store in the country. Auerbach was also a renowned philanthropist, who contributed significantly to many of Hartford's cultural, educational and civic organizations.

Private home in Hancock ParkYWLA Reads: Suzanne Mustacich discusses her book, Thirsty Dragon
Please join YWLA as we welcome author Suzanne Mustacich '86, Contributing Editor at Wine Spectator magazine. Suzanne will discuss her book, Thirsty Dragon, which was just named by Amazon as a best book of the month in the Business/Leadership category. Please bring an hors d'oeuvre to share with the group; Suzanne has generously offered to provide the wine!
Here is just one of the rave reviews for the book.
Fareed Zakaria: "Thirsty Dragon is a fascinating look inside China through an unusual, and illuminating prism - wine. I found myself learning more about China from this ground-up approach than from many books that look at the big picture. Worth reading, especially with a nice glass of wine at your side."

Alissa Hamilton, Yale alumna and author residing in Toronto, will introduce her two books on popular misconceptions about the food industry. Her recent book, Got Milked? What you don't know about dairy, the truth about calcium, and why you'll thrive without milk was released earlier this year with much publicity, debunking certain health myths propagated by the dairy industry. Alissa’s earlier book, Squeezed: What You Don’t Know About Orange Juice (2010) uncovered similar untruths about orange juice, and the industrial complex behind the surge in demand for “fresh” juice. Q & A and group discussion to follow Alissa’s presentation.

At an alum's home in Woodbridge, CTCuriosity & Conversations: Finding Work/Life Balance
YaleWomen Connecticut
Finding Balance: What is work/life balance? Can we -- how do we – achieve it?
Are you struggling to find balance between your professional and personal lives? Do you feel that your professional and personal lives pull you in different directions? Would you like to talk with other Yale women about how they are figuring out “how to have it all”?
Join Yale women alums from Yale College and the Graduate & Professional Schools, and from all walks of life in a conversation about the topic that is making headlines everywhere: what is work/life balance and how do we achieve it?
To whet your appetite for what promises to be a rich and thought provoking conversation, we offer the following “food for thought” –
Questions to think about:
- What is your definition of balance?
- Has your definition of balance changed over the course of your career? If so, how has it changed and how did you address how you found balance over time, one way or the other?
- How does finding balance “jive” with staying competitive in your line of work?
- Can women have it all – find balance and stay at the top? If so – how?
- Advice for younger women? What do we tell the next generation of women who are facing these same issues?
- What are your core values behind the topic of work/life balance?
Recommended viewings and readings:
- Sheryl Sandberg’s December 2010 TED talk, "Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders" http://www.ted.com/talks/sheryl_sandberg_why_we_have_too_few_women_leaders?language=en

- Do you want to become a thought leader?
- Would you like to learn more about the publishing process?
- Learn how publishing can help you create your own brand!
Two Yale authors and one of Boston’s leading literary agents will discuss the process of having your book published. They will talk about whether and how to use an agent, traditional versus self-publishing, and differences between fiction and non-fiction book publishing.
Our authors both belonged to the YaleWomen Boston writing group. Join us to celebrate their successes and learn from their experiences.

Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, CTYaleWomen Connecticut - Museum Trail - Seven Deadly Sins
The summer is almost over and it’s time to make our next visit on the YaleWomen Connecticut Museum Trail! The Fairfield/Westchester Museum Alliance is in the midst of a collaborative exhibition representing The Seven Deadly Sins. This write up from the Bruce Museum explains:
“Each of the FWMA institutions explores one of the seven deadly sins - a hardcore group of despised actions that for centuries defined what humans must not do to live good lives. The litany of sins is as familiar to us now as to past generations - Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath – and each sin is often contrasted with a contrary virtue: Kindness, Temperance, Charity, Chastity, Humility, and Diligence, whose practice protects us from the ever present temptation to sin. The "Deadly Seven," the favorite subject of painters and poets over centuries, is woven into the warp and weft of the Western world's cultural allusions. Sin, committed by individuals and by communities, looms large in contemporary life just as It did In ancient times.”
We will be visiting the Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield as they explore Sloth. By virtue of their approach to laziness, we will get to armchair travel and see all of the exhibits from the comfort of a lounge chair. What could be more slothful! September 19th is “Sinful Saturday,” the closing day of the exhibition that features a number of events, including an exhibition tour at 1:00. As well, at 2:00 Mats Bigert, the exhibition’s co-curator will be here and will be screening excerpts from his not yet finished film “Do Nothing,” that charts the recent history of laziness.
Here are 2 great reviews:

Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, CTYaleWomen Connecticut – Museum Trail: Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland, 1861–2008
What:
Join us for our 6th stop on the YaleWomen Connecticut Museum Trail: Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland, 1861–2008
Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland is the first major exhibition to use visual art as a lens to explore the lure that Coney Island exerted on American culture over a period of 150 years. An extraordinary array of artists viewed Coney Island as a microcosm of the American experience, from its beginnings as a watering hole for the wealthy, through its transformation into an entertainment mecca for the masses, to the closing of Astroland Amusement Park following decades of urban decline.
Robin Jaffee Frank '81 MA, '91 MPhil, '95 PhD, the Atheneum’s Chief Curator and the Curator of this Exhibition, will lead us on a private tour. “Ms. Frank, a Brooklyn native who visited Coney Island often as a child, vividly recalls being terrified by sights like the Cyclops head that hung at the Spook-A-Rama, a 1950s thrill ride that took passengers under a blood-red waterfall and past horror figures. She grew increasingly fascinated by art about the landmark over her more than two decades at the Yale University Art Gallery, where she became senior associate curator of American paintings and sculpture in 2006. She brought her research for the show with her when the Wadsworth Atheneum hired her as chief curator in 2011. The Yale University Art Gallery is the exhibit’s biggest lender. (WSJ, 1/16/15)
Prior to the tour, there will be an optional pay-as-you-go live jazz brunch with Goza Latin Jazz at 11:00 am at the Atheneum’s Museum Café. The buffet includes a complimentary Blood Mary or Mimosa, chef's specialty egg entrée, thick cut bacon and home fries, seasonal French toast, sliced roast turkey breast, seasonal fruit, tossed salad, roasted vegetables, and assorted breakfast sweet breads and muffins.

Connecticut Food Bank in East Haven, CTYaleWomen Connecticut – Community Service Project: Hunger 101
In Connecticut, one in seven households can’t always afford the food they need.
Join us for a community service project addressing hunger in the state of Connecticut. This event will begin with a volunteer project – sorting food at the Connecticut Food Bank’s East Haven warehouse – and will be followed by participation in the Connecticut Food Bank’s Hunger 101 interactive group learning experience.
Hunger 101 gives people a taste of what food insecurity—or hunger—really is. Participants walk in someone else’s shoes and see firsthand what it’s like to struggle with poverty and food insecurity in Connecticut. Hunger 101 captures the daily stress of hunger as you learn how to feed a family for a day with no or limited resources.
This event is open to members of the YaleWomen Connecticut community and family members ages 12 and older. Space is limited to 30 people. RSVP no later than Tuesday, March 2nd to Amy L. Klein ’93 and’98 JD at [email protected].

How do you manage your online brand? To what extent are you willing to trade your privacy for improved online advertising and services? What role, if any, should government play in managing the exchange, security, and use of digital personal data?

Curiosity & Conversations: Female Beauty
beau·ty (byo͞otē) noun a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.

Did the conversation change?
Join us for a conversation in which we will explore beauty: What is your definition of beauty? How does our culture define beauty? How does how big industry – perhaps including Unilever through its Dove “Real Beauty” campaign – shape and influence both our culture’s and our individual perceptions of beauty? How do we feel about beauty? Whether or not Dove’s “Real Beauty” campaign changed the conversation about female beauty, where can YaleWomen Connecticut take this conversation?

Subsequently Mentoring Groups will meet several times a year to discuss and support each other in achieving career, life and leadership goals. Cost of the kick-off will be $35/person. You can purchase tickets at link above. [YWDC is a non-profit with no operating budget, supported by volunteers and participants. If cost is a hardship, you will not be turned away - please just let us know, and we will make alternative arrangements to cover your costs. On-going participation in the Mentoring Initiative will be free - your Mentoring Group should meet in public spaces and or private homes.]
Please make sure to sign up for the kick-off, even if you have already signed up for the Mentoring Initiative; if your schedule does not allow you to attend the kick-off but want to join a Mentoring Group please contact the organizers, Bailey Hand at [email protected] or Anita Gibson at [email protected]
