On Friday, February 22 the Leah J. Peterson Speaker Series welcomed the Anchorage Vagina Monologues Director for a discussion on empowerment through performing arts.
The panel discussed how the Vagina Monologues explores consensual and non-consensual sexual experiences, body image, genital mutilation, direct and indirect encounters with reproduction, sex work, and several other topics through the eyes of women with various ages, races, sexualities, and other differences.
Below are a few highlights from the event.
