Feminism and Sustainability, Local Farming, and Eco-activism

Steinem Sisters Collection Talking Circle

What is eco-feminism? How does it affect us in NW Ohio? Locally sustainability advocates will lead a discussion on their journeys to sustainability and what women in Lucas County can do to help.

Meet local Zero Waste and composting advocates to discuss their journeys to sustainability.

The Steinem Sisters Collection is a feminist collection that explores the lives and achievements of women. Created to honor Gloria Steinem, the collection champions the historical, cultural and political contribution of women. The collection strives to provide a welcoming space for women of all walks of life to share their truths. The types of materials we collect are “feminist materials” – which are materials that uphold women’s rights and interests in defining and promoting political, economic, personal and social equality of the sexes. This collection was possible due to a generous donation by The Steinem’s Sisters Collective.
