Eldred Theater

TOP GIRLS by Caryl Churchill

Directed by Catherine Albers (right)
Set in Thatcherite Britain, this play is the story of Marlene, a strong, successful career woman who finds herself doubting her past choices. Churchill's ground-breaking play explores the struggles that women have had since entering the industrial age workforce: can you have a career and a family?

This was the first play to tackle the topic of feminism and the struggle of women from all periods history have had to make to ensure equality and success. The all female cast is strong and the play will resonate for those who have gone through the struggle and those who are reaping many of those benefits. It explores the dilemma that women face in having a career and having a family.

Mather Spotlight Lecture

"The Law of Reproductive Rights: Privacy, Equality, Health, or Something Else?"

Professor Jessie Hill, CWRU School of Law

The law has long searched for an appropriate frame for understanding women's reproductive rights. Sometimes, courts and scholars speak of reproductive rights in terms of a "right to privacy," and at other times, in terms of equality. International law and advocacy groups, on the other hand, have spoken of reproductive rights primarily in terms of women's health. Professor Hill's scholarly work has examined the implications, advantages, and pitfalls of these various ways of viewing reproductive rights. In her talk, she plans to discuss the issue of how reproductive rights are and should be framed in legal and popular discourse, as well as the connections between her scholarly work and her reproductive rights advocacy.
