Women's History video



Gala Premiere of Video about the Sophia Smith Collection 

Smith College will kick off its celebration of Women's History Month for 2001 with the first public screening of a new documentary film, "Creating Women's History: The Sophia Smith Collection" on Tuesday evening, March 6.  The 18-minute film highlights the college's pioneering contributions to the movement that is revolutionizing the writing and teaching of history.  It chronicles the 1942 founding of the nation's oldest women's manuscripts collection by historian Mary Ritter Beard and archivist Margaret Storrs Grierson and features cameo appearances by Gloria Steinem, Third Wave Foundation founders Amy Richards and Rebecca Walker, and Professor Daniel  Horowitz.  

The video was co-produced by Smith Visiting Professor and historian/filmmaker Joyce Follet, whose "Step by Step: Building a Feminist Movement, 1941 to 1977" won the 1999 EMMA Award for best documentary from the National Women's Political Caucus, and Terry Rockefeller of Blackside, Inc., whose credits include the influential PBS series "Eyes on the Prize" and "I'll Make Me a World." 

For those in the Northampton area who may wish to attend, the screening is free and open to the public.  The Alumnae Gym doors open at 7:30 with show-time at 8.  Enter via Neilson Library, Level A (accessible) or through our new ground floor entrance beneath the connector to Neilson Library.  Popcorn and other theatre refreshments will be served.
