Dr. Angela Bowen was the first PhD (1936 -2018) to graduate with a Women’s Studies degree from Clark University in 1997 – and one of the first to earn such a degree in the country.
I know that she would want to have been part of these transformative moments as the world pushes for long overdue change to save humanity and our beautiful world. To that end, I will be posting some of Dr. Bowen’s interviews and speeches, unpublished and published works, which are both timely and timeless.
Dr. Bowen’s activist and scholarly archives will be housed at Spelman College, and her dance archives will be housed at the New York Public Library.
Having been her life partner for 39 years, I know that she would want to be part of this moment – when across the globe new alliances and coalitions are pushing for change to save humanity and this beautiful earth we call home.
I hope you will be as inspired by her life, words and work as I continue to be.
