Women Breaking Boundaries with Janet Kalven

Host Kathy Wade, Executive Director of Women Writing for a Change, interviews long-tiime member, Janet Kalven, age 96, about her work as a Grail founder, feminist, farmer and writer.

As a young woman living in Chicago, Janet was a student of the Great Books, and soon became involved with the Grail movement which gave birth to Grailville, in southern Ohio.  The Grail was known for its mission of women leading women and the assertion that women possessed the leadership qualities that could bring about world peace and justice.

Janet shares stories from her book, Women Breaking Boundaries, recounts her days of milking goats and cows while living at Grailville, and opens up about her experience at WWfaC whose "rituals help draw people out of their ordinary dayness and into a deeper realm."
