"Women
of Action" Speaker Series Augsburg College welcomes four dynamic women to campus this fall: Sarah Weddington, the attorney who successfully argued Roe v. Wade before the U.S. Supreme Court; Dr. Maya Angelou, acclaimed author, poet, actor, and activist; Dr. Ruth Westheimer, a psychosexual therapist; and Judy Shepard, mother of hate crime victim Matthew Shepard. Built around issues of diversity, the "Women in Action" speaker series is sponsored by the Augsburg Student Activities Council (ASAC), with support from other campus departments and Anthony Shane Florist. The four women bring messages of strength and action to their presentations—Maya Angelou's creative gifts and experience, Judy Shepard's message of tolerance, Sarah Weddington's articulation of leadership roles for women, and Dr. Ruth's humorous treatment of contemporary issues. The events are free and open to the public, with the exception of Angelou's presentation. Tickets for "An Evening with Maya Angelou" are available through www.ticketworks.com or 612-343-3390. For free tickets to the other speakers, please call 612-330-1124.
