“In her 2002 Women’s Week Keynote lecture, Rita May Brown spent the majority of her talk exploring the gender dynamics and patriarchy rooted in the history of the English language. As an English and History major focusing on gender studies, Brown’s talk made me realize how these issues were so deeply embedded in everything around me, inspiring me to dive deeper into my own studies. Listening to the recently digitized lecture in 2022, it was fascinating to realize how much the conversations about gender have changed and what issues have persisted over 20 years.”
