Bgsu’S Women’S, Gender, And Sexuality Studies: The Battle Against Power-Based Violence On Campus, Aimee Burns, Tarishi Verma

WS 6800/MC 6400 Women's Studies Archive Project

2018 marks the 40th anniversary of Bowling Green State University’s Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program.

She Would Not Be Silenced: Mae West's Struggle Against Censorship, Charlotte N. Toledo

The Downtown Review

Mae West, an actress during Hollywood's Golden Age, used her fame on stage, in films, and on the radio to offer social commentary on relationships between men and women in society.
