"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.
