UCLA's Faculty Women's Club celebrates our new beginning

 Welcome back to our traditional in-person One hundred-and-Fourth (104) Season!

We start off with the General Meeting, on October 2022, with a presentation by Liza Bercovici, our Woman of Distinction 2022

Join us for the live performance of the HINDUSTAN CLASSICAL SITAR concert on October 19th. The event will be held at the SHERIE LOUNGE & BAR venue, at the UCLA's Faculty Club. This event celebrates the first decade of the MUSIC IN CULTURAL CONTEXT Section.

Our Book Section met on October 11, 2022 to discuss THE MANNINGTREE WITCHES (2021) by A. K. Blakemore. The book opened up interesting questions related to historical perspectives of witch-hunting, as well as a broader set of feminist theory ideas.
