In honor of Women's History month, this is a screening of an award-winning documentary about a significant but little-known chapter in the history of the Women’s Liberation Movement.

On March 6, 1971, International Women’s Day marchers turned left on Pearl Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts to seize and occupy a Harvard University building at 888 Memorial Drive and declare it a Women’s Center. Hundreds of women, veterans of the antiwar and civil rights movements (among them some of the earliest out lesbian rights activists) participated in this effective action.
