Jessica Neuwirth, founder of the international women's rights organization Equality Now and former director of the New York branch of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, will discuss her new book Equal Means Equal: Why the Time for an Equal Rights Amendment is Now. The book, which includes a foreword by Gloria Steinem, examines topics like pay equity, pregnancy discrimination, and violence against women and argues the need for an Equal Rights Amendment. Earlier this summer, actress Meryl Streep sent each member of Congress a personally signed letter along with a copy of Neuwirth's book urging them to revive the Equal Rights Amendment. Neuwirth recently appeared on The Diane Rehm Show on NPR and the Tavis Smiley Show on PBS. Neuwirth will speak as part of the Library's Libby Walker Women's Studies Lecture Series.
