Events: Feminist.com's Marianne Schnall and Amy Richards at Omega's Women & Power conference!
Feminist.com is proud to be a media partner of the upcoming conference Women & Power: Our Time to Lead, taking place on September 24-26, 2010 organized by one of our longtime partners, Omega Institute. The faculty for this year's conference includes two of Feminist.com's co-founders, Marianne Schnall and Amy Richards, who will be leading a workshop entitled "Activism in Your Own Voice."

This year, the Women & Power conference is "a call-out to women of all ages and backgrounds to become the leaders we have been waiting for. Whether you are a professional, activist, volunteer, student, artist, mother, spiritual seeker, or social visionary, it is time for us to dig deep, retrieve our authentic voice and values, and lead with courage and heart—at home, work, and in the world." For more information on the conference, visit www.eomega.org/omega/wi-power.
