Every spring the members of Women's History and More prepare a series of activities to honor Women's History Month.
This year's events will include two speakers, two films and a production directed by BC theater arts professor Kimberly Chin.
"We thought we were in good shape and that we had everything planned out since Christmas," said Patricia Thompson, who teaches sociology and anthropology at BC.
However, two of the main speakers had to cancel at the last minute. Thompson said that they will not be getting any other speakers to replace the cancellations due to the lack of time.
Thompson and Chin still hold high hopes for the remainder of the events, "One of the speakers will be Bernadette Barton," said Thompson, "and she is young and enthusiastic. I think everyone will really like her."
Barton, author of "Stripped: Inside the Lives of Exotic Dancers," will be presenting "Surviving the Toll of the Sex Industry." Barton is a member of the Department of Sociology, Social Work, and Criminology at Morehead State University.
Barton will be speaking on March 21 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Fireside Room.
Former BC psychology professor, Karen Eso will present "Changing Conceptions of Women's Sexuality," the date, time, and location is yet to be determined.
There will also be two films, both which will be open to everyone and free of charge. One of the films will be "The Notorious Bettie Page," and the other is a documentary on menstruation called "Period Piece."
The production, which will run from March 29-31 in the BC Indoor Theater, will be "The Vagina Monologues," by Eve Ensler, and directed by Chin.
Chin will be holding open auditions, and that any women interested should come by Friday, Feb. 23.
