Betsy will discuss the Anti-nuclear weapons movement (1980’s) which involved citizens in Cashmere and ways to take action against the proliferation of nuclear weapons today, drawing on the story of our state’s programs back in 1982-1985. She will also explore the struggle of women to find their independence and voices as wives and mothers.
