PCC to Celebrate Womens History Month

The Pasadena City College Feminist Club, along with City of Pasadena’s Commission on Status of Women are sponsoring a viewing of the film Miss Representation and a panel discussion in honor of Women’s History Month on March 20, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in PCC’s Creveling Lounge.

The film, which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, explores how the misrepresentation of women by the media has led to the under-representation of women in positions of influence and power. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the documentary exposes an unfortunate truth about America today.

Assembly member Anthony Portantino (D – La Canada Flintridge) will be there to present a resolution to declare March as International Women’s History Month.
