Every day, in so many ways, the beauty industry (and the media in general) tell women and girls that being admired, envied and desired based on their looks is a primary function of true womanhood. The beauty template women are expected to follow is extremely narrow, unrealistic and frequently hazardous to their health. The Love Your Body campaign challenges the message that a woman's value is best measured through her willingness and ability to embody current beauty standards.

RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network) Day is RAINN’s annual day of action to raise awareness and educate students about sexual violence on college campuses. It is a grassroots program designed to empower college students to educate their peers about risk reduction and recovery resources on their campus.

Volunteers from the Women's Center will be passing out cards to members of the WSU community. If you would like a card and do not receive one from one of our volunteers, stop by the Women's Center in 148 Millett Hall.

Join us to discuss our summer reading selection, The Personal History of Rachel DuPree by Ann Weisgarber. Weisgarber’s debut novel tells the story of Rachel DuPree, who is hired in a Chicago boardinghouse and falls in love with Issac, the boardinghouse owner’s son. Issac offers to marry her as long as she gives him her 160 acres from the Homestead Act so he can double his share. Upon his offer, Rachel agrees and together they stake their claim in the forebodingly beautiful South Dakota Badlands.
