"For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women." -Elizabeth Blackwell (first U.S. female physician)

Wednesday, February 11th, 2026: WITCHIES, Chickies, and Radical "Libbers": The Women's Liberation Movement and American GIs

SUB 168,  Noon - 1 p.m.

Throughout the 1960s and into the early 1970s, a wave of social and racial justice movements swept the United States, capturing the attention of American citizens both at home and abroad, including men and women serving in the Vietnam War. One of these countercultural campaigns—the women’s liberation movement—issued a direct challenge to martial masculinity, a central pillar in the United States’ battle against communism in Vietnam. Join MSU’s Dr. Addison Jensen as she explores American servicemen’s responses to this “crisis of masculinity” through the lens of media and popular culture—mainstream publications such as Playboy, the GI-produced magazine Grunt Free Press, and the music of the era.  Dr.  Jensen is currently at work on her manuscript, Blowing In the Wind: Media, Counterculture, and the American Military in Vietnam.
 
 

Wednesday, March 4th: More Perfect: Sex Appeal-A Moderated Discussion
