Upcoming AAUW webinar: COVID-19 and the Labor Economy: What’s Next?

Wednesday, September 9, 2020, 3 P.M. CST

Join us for a conversation with economist Diane Lim where we will discuss how the ongoing pandemic has affected the labor economy and what it means for women, people of color and low-wage workers. Lim has spent her 30-plus year career in a variety of prominent roles in the federal government, nonprofit, and academic sectors. The author of the EconomistMom blog, Lim recently published an analysis of Asian women and unemployment during the pandemic. Her analysis delivers a bird’s eye-view of how all women are managing the competing demands for their time outside of their careers.

August 18 – NPL Votes for Women Grand Opening

On the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, join Nashville Public Library for a celebration of inclusion, inspiration, and voice. The virtual grand opening for the interactive exploration exhibit will feature special guest Rosanne Cash — singer, songwriter, author, and narrator of the PBS documentary By One Vote: Woman Suffrage in the South. Click the button below for more information about the grand opening.

In 1920, when the Tennessee Legislature cast its tie-breaking vote to ratify the 19th Amendment, cities across the U.S. rang bells in recognition — but Nashville did not. On August 18, Nashville breaks that silence with the loudest celebration of the summer. This virtual experience will culminate with neighbors, universities, and other institutions citywide ringing bells, big and small.
