The Movie & How to Use It
Running in High Heels is about WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP and now is the time to discuss women assuming greater leadership.
With Nancy Pelosi firmly commanding the role of Speaker of the House and Hillary Clinton in full pursuit of the Oval Office, 2008 is the time for women and leadership. Women today realize that among the many advances to come, the 21st century is about women having their share of access to power, to money and to government. The only question is how quickly this access can come, what stands in women's way and what can be done about it.Wrapped around the story of one young woman's bid for office, women's leadership is examined in a non-partisan discussion with women from the right and the left of the political spectrum, featuring:
- Myrna Blyth, author of Spin Sisters and former Editor-in-Chief, Ladies Home Journal
- Dr. Heidi Hartmann, Founder of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research
- Sherrye Henry, author of the Deep Divide, aide to Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, and former NY State Senate candidate
- Nancy Pfotenhauer, President, Independent Womens Forum
- Phyllis Schlafly, conservative activist and author
- Eleanor Smeal, womens activist and President of the Feminist Majority Foundation
- Betty Spence, President of the National Association of Female Executives (NAFE)
- Rosalind Wiseman, author of Queen Bees and Wannabees
(See the schools who have.)
52 Women invite members of colleges, universities, political organizations and community groups around the country to screen "Running in High Heels" during Women's History Month in March or on or preceding Election Day November 2008 to raise awareness about WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP.
The purchase of either of our insitutional versions entitles you to screen to groups of up to fifty people at any time provided admission is never charged for any portion of your event.
If
you would like to charge admission or do a benefit
screening to raise money
for local beneficiaries that are working to empower women, please be in
touch.
(Such screenings are akin to V-Day performances of "the Vagina
Monologues" in
which the playwright waves the licensing fees for the purposes of your
benefit production.
