FCL presents Sunday Salons
Have you ever wondered if your Pro-life or Pro-choice opinions have legitimately been heard by those who disagree with you? If you are Pro-life, do you desire an opportunity to understand your opponent's position in a non-threatening atmosphere? If you are Pro-choice, would you like an opportunity to be listened to without judgment?
Feminists Choosing Life is reviving Sunday Salons. These parlor discussions on philosophy and culture enjoyed popularity during the Victorian Era and were frequently held in the comfort of people’s homes. FCLNY plans to host several of these types of discussions in member’s homes throughout the 2008-2009 season.
Consider joining us for these informal discussions with other women in the community.
