"Let's Talk About It..."

Mad Women in the Attic

What happens to a woman whose behavior defies social and domestic expectations? Perhaps she is locked in an attic; more often she is a woman involved in a quest to discover her identity. These works may help us redefine "mad women."

All programs are Mondays at 7 p.m. in the Hayden H. Jones Auditorium.

Registration begins Tuesday, September 6.
