AS to celebrate Women’s Month

In 1911, “more than one million women and men attended (event rallies) campaigning for women’s rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination,” according to www.internationalwomensday.com.

March 8 marks the International Women’s Day centenary.

In honor of the centenary and in recognition of March as Women’s Month, the Associated Student Government is presenting a series of guest speakers March 9. The goal is to “celebrate achievements and share the tribulations women have faced via personal stories,” according to a flyer for the event.

Speakers will include City College professor Maria Garcia; Dr. Shirley Weber, head of the Africana department at SDSU; and Jasmine Guerrero, one of the directors of San Diego’s Friends of Downtown.

The free event will take place in the Saville Theater from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
