New World Notes - What Does Woman Want?

This week on New World Notes: radio program #314, March 11, 2014, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst celebrates International Women's Day (March 8).

You will hear an "encore performance" (that is, a rerun) of portions of an installment from 2009. It features a brief but shrewd and funny speech by Dr. Joycelyn Elders on human sexuality, women's health, women's rights, and warped national priorities.

Elders was Surgeon General of the United States (1993-1994). President Clinton fired her for her vocal advocacy of liberal and sane public-health policies. (She opposed both "abstinence-based sex education" and the Drug War.)

Plus a monologue by K.D., a relevant song by The Foremen, and part of another by James McMurtry.

Listener Advisory: Contains adult themes and language.

New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "oppressive yoke") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
