McCarter Theatre Center Artistic Director and Resident Playwright Emily Mann shares a screening of Johanna Demetrakas’ 2018 documentary followed by conversation and story sharing. The film revisits Cynthia MacAdams’ “Emergence,” a landmark collection of portraits of second-wave pioneering feminists including Gloria Steinem, Kate Millett, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda and has many of the original subjects and their third-wave successors reflecting on the portraits, their identity as feminists, and their own experience as women in the Movement.

Community Room This event is in advance of the Sept. 6 opening of “Gloria: A Life,” at McCarter Theatre Center. Co-sponsored by the library, the Princeton Garden Theatre and McCarter Theatre Center.
