“The patriarchal system is often upheld by the law, or the law is enforceable because of patriarchal norms. Either way, many of the rights we take for granted today were hard-won by brave individuals in court. These include the right of a woman to order a drink at a bar (*Gill and Coote v El Vino Co Ltd*, 1982), the right to work despite being pregnant (*Air India v. Nargesh Mirza*, 1981), the right to marry outside one’s race in the U.S. (1967), and the banning of the two-finger virginity test in Pakistan and India (2020).”

“We will explore the music of the Sacred Harp, a tunebook first published in the 1840s and still in print today. It's a singing tradition with a rich culture and deep roots, evocative of little wooden churches in the woods, wild harmonies and powerful emotions. There will be plenty of opportunities to chat and ask questions, and we'll take a break with tea and snacks.”
