7:30 pm

"You will be shocked and disturbed by this book. Most Americans reject outright any comparison of post 9/11 America with the fascism and totalitarianism of Nazi Germany or Pinochet's Chile. Sadly, the parallels and similarities... are all too compelling." - Michael Ratner, Center for Constitutional Rights

"The Framers of the Constitution fully understood that it can happen here. Patriots like Madison, Paine, and Franklin would certainly applaud Naomi Wolf and recognize her as a sister in their struggle." - Mark Crispin Miller

"...a vivid, urgent, mandatory wake-up call that addresses momentous issues of tyranny, democracy, and survival." - Blanche Weissen Cook, author of The 3-volume Eleanor Roosevelt

Naomi Wolf –Biographical Brief

Naomi Wolf was born in San Francisco in 1962. She was an undergraduate at Yale University and did her graduate work at New College, Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
Her essays have appeared in various publications including: The New Republic, The Wall Street Journal, Glamour, Ms., Esquire, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. She also speaks widely to groups across the country.

"The Beauty Myth," her first book, was an international bestseller. She followed that with "Fire With Fire: The New Female Power and How It Will Change The 21st Century," published by Random House in 1993, and "Promiscuities: The Secret Struggle for Womanhood," published in 1997. "Misconceptions," released in 2001, is a powerful and passionate critique of pregnancy and birth in America.

In fall 2002, Harper Collins published a 10th anniversary commemorative edition of "The Beauty Myth." Ms. Wolf’s latest book, released in May of 2005, is "The Treehouse: Eccentric Wisdom from my Father on How to Live, Love and See."

Naomi Wolf is co-founder of The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership, an organization devoted to training young women in ethical leadership for the 21st century. The institute teaches professional development in the arts and media, politics and law, business and entrepreneurship as well as ethical decision making.

She lives with her family in New York City.

12. nadinbrzezinski you ROCK ROCK ROCK
:yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

THAT'S GREAT! Very envious of you. Sounds like you'll get Ms. Wolf's autograph if you find your copy!

Kpete is also aware of this event and you might get to see her there.

Wondering if there's anybody you know who owns a tape recorder or video camera you could borrow?
