Sheila Tobias to Address WAND
At WAND's October meeting, WAND and Physicians for Social Responsibility will present Sheila Tobias, educator, dynamic speaker and co-author of "The People's Guide to National Defense." Tobias will give a slide show and talk that is an objective, unflinching examination fo the super-abundance of bombs, missiles, et. Her book has been called "lucid, instructive, and riveting--the book that tells you everything you always wanted to know about the military-industrial complex but were afraid to ask." Tobias is also known for establishing one of the first women's studies courses in the country at Cornell in the late 60's, for her formulation of math anxiety and avoidance as feminist issues, and for winning the lawsuit brought against her by High Frontier--the right-wing organization--for her videotape rebutting a High Frontier film that promotes Star Wars. She is a Visiting Scholar in Political Science at the University of Arizona.
