ANNVILLE, PA (10/27/2014)(readMedia)-- Lebanon Valley College's Gender Colloquium Series will present the film "Story of Women" Monday, Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. at Annville's Allen Theatre. Discussion with Dr. Rebecca McCoy, Associate Professor of history, will follow immediately after the film. Admission is $3 for the public, $1 for non-LVC students, and free for LVC students with student ID.

The film will captivate you from the moment you are introduced to the young woman pushing forward in life raising two children, with limited schooling. When the young woman's husband returns from the front, his condition does not allow him to work. What the young woman does next to support her family financially will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Gender is a year-long integrated series of keynote presentations, guest speakers, films, and academic courses. Gender actively and passively shapes our shared destinies. More than an idea, its practice and performance unfold within the constellations of biology and culture, bodies and institutions. In the face of powerful social conventions and the culturally constructed binaries of "male" and "female," "masculine" and "feminine," the complexities of gender challenge us to think beyond the genus, to reach beyond the type and category, and to step into the spectrum of being and becoming.
