Showings of Film: Left on Pearl
*LEFT ON PEARL* is a documentary about a highly significant but
little-known event in the history of the women's liberation movement,
the 1971 takeover and occupation of a Harvard University-owned building
by hundreds of Boston area women. The ten-day occupation of 888 Memorial
Drive by women demanding a Women’s Center and low income housing for the
community in which the building stood, embodied within it many of the
hopes, triumphs, conflicts and tensions of Second Wave feminism. One of
the few such takeovers by women for women, this action was
transformative for the participants, and led directly to the
establishment of the longest continuously operating Women's Center in
the U.S. To read an extended summary, click here.
