November 1: POSTPONED Scarsdale, New York : When #MeToo Meets The Midterms

By Forward Staff October 9, 2018

POSTPONED

In light of the Pittsburgh attacks, we are canceling, with regret, Thursday’s event When #MeToo Meets the Midterms – How Gender and Politics Interact This Election Season.

We hope to offer some version of this program in the future.

It’s been a year of reckoning for women. There have been countless stories of harassment and assault, of prejudice and power dynamics. Amid the struggles, however, a movement gained traction, creating a sense of strength, solidarity and hope.

Join Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner as she leads, “When #MeToo Meets the Midterms – How Gender and Politics Interact This Election Season,” in conversation with Judith Shulevitz, a contributing op-ed writer for The New York Times, and Mattie Kahn, senior editor at Glamour Magazine.

Judith Shulevitz

Judith Shulevitz is an editor and culture critic, focusing on feminism, culture and science. In addition to the New York Times, she has written for Slate, The New York Times Book Review and The New Republic. Her story on the revolutionary Alexa, the voice assistant who speaks through Amazon Echo, is The Atlantic’s November cover story.

Mattie Kahn

Mattie Kahn is senior editor at Glamour. She covers news, politics and women’s issues. Her work has appeared in ELLE, BuzzFeed Reader, Cherry Bombe, Refinery29 and The Trace.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
