Harvard Book Store welcomes The Harvard Advocate contributors SAMANTHA HUNT, AMY KURZWEIL, PATRICIA LIU, and JEANINE ZHENG for a discussion of the literary and arts magazine's new special issue, The Women's Issue. The event will be moderated by the Advocate executive board members SABRINA LI and OWEN OJO.

About The Women's Issue

The Harvard Advocate is the oldest, continuously published collegiate magazine in the country. The Women's Issue is a special fifth issue of the Advocate. The Women's Issue was conceived with the goal of engaging in a dialogue between the stereotypical, "universal" narrative of what it means to be a woman, and the actuality of it. Production of the magazine is supported by the Harvard Women's Center and Harvard's Office for the Arts.
