Aptheker was a leader in the Berkeley Free Speech Movement of the 1960s and currently teaches in the Feminist Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Author of Intimate Politics and Tapestries of Life: Women's Work, Women's Consciousness and the Meaning of Daily Life, Aptheker will speak about the significance of feminist autobiography and the continuing reclamation of women's history.
