| Herstorical Date and Anniversary |
January 23, 1972: The Women's Center opened at 46 Pleasant Street, Cambridge, MA. It's been providing a safe space for renewal and sparking resistance since then. 2017 is the Center's 45th anniversary!
Please send us your memories of the Center and/or the march and takeover of 888 Memorial Drive which directly led to the Center's founding.
For more information on the Cambridge Women's center, visit the Women's Center website.

| Susan Lyman (1919-2016) |
We just learned that Susan Lyman died peacefully on December 29, 2016. As we showed in LEFT ON PEARL, Susan Lyman, as Chair of the Radcliffe Board of Trustees, visited 888 Memorial Drive and played a key role in the purchase of the Women's Center. She remained a supporter of the Center and of our film.
