At the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco

Suzanne Braun Levine: Reinventing Love, Intimacy, and Sex After Fifty

No generation before ours has had the prospect of looking ahead to a second adulthood as long as the first. So the question “What Will I Do With the Rest Of My Life?” leaves us elated – and dazed and confused. We know that there must be love, but what does love mean now? To answer it, we need to evaluate our priorities, commitments, and relationships, including with ourselves. Levine says we also need to take inventory of the intimate connections that are already enriching our lives. Such reevaluations can be scary. Will my long-term marriage survive the process? In this new stage, people are exploring the many meanings of interdependence and writing a new love narrative as they live it.

Date & Time:
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
4:45 p.m. Reception
5:15 p.m. Program

Ms. @ 40 and the Future of Feminism:
Keynote Address by Gloria Steinem

Description
A keynote address by Ms. Magazine founding editor, Gloria Steinem, will be the centerpiece of a Winter Quarter series of events that looks back on what Ms. has meant to its readers over the last 40 years and that looks ahead to what feminism may mean for the next generation.  For over four decades, Steinem has been at the forefront of the women’s movement as a journalist, publisher, author, and political activist. Shelley Fisher Fishkin, the Joseph S. Atha Professor of Humanities, and an organizer of the symposium, will introduce Ms. Steinem.

This event is free and open to all but a ticket is required. Reserved tickets will be available through the Stanford Ticket Office beginning on January 13.  Click here to visit the Stanford Ticket Office. 

We’ll be talking about the Fertile Void – the gravity-free zone where we sort things
out and shake things up. Where we shed the voices of shoulda-woulda-coulda thinking
and begin to sense the presence of an internal compass, our own voice.

What’s the solution?

Join us…you won’t want to miss this!

“….Back when my children were small and I was working long hours, a couple of my colleagues and I founded the Thank God It’s Monday Club. Why, you may wonder did we prefer Monday to the more traditional Friday? Because after a weekend of clumsy parenting, unaccomplished tasks, stressful engagement with my husband and a pervasive sense of exhaustion, guilt and incompetence, it was a relief — a life saver, really — to get back to the office. There it was likely that at least once during the day I would feel that I was good at something, that I could complete something, that I could accomplish something worth doing, and that the people around me valued my presence. Our club was mostly made up of women with nuclear families, but we were often joined by those who had extended families and had spent time with them over the weekend.”

“We Still Undress in the Dark, But the Sex Is Great!”

Whether we like it or not, being 50 or 60 means that we aren’t in Kansas any more — body wise. There is no way that the belt we wore in our thirties will fit, even if the hip-huggers we also wore at the time still do.

“TCA HBO Day: Gloria Steinem Talks, True Blood’s Alan Ball Stays Put, Final Entourage Season”

The annual Television Critics Association press tour is under way this week: Amy Dawes reports on HBO day:

Gloria Steinem, focus of an HBO documentary premiering Aug. 15 titled Gloria: In Her Own Words, had consistent praise for the present generation of young women in remarks Thursday at her TCA panel, despite repeated inducements to disparage them based on their perceived looseness of dress and sexual behavior.

“There are more young women now who are feminist leaders than there ever were during my era,” said Steinem, who recently spent time on college campuses, “and young women have better shit detectors than we ever had.”
