A Special Evening Screening of Snow Flower and the Secret FanFriday, November 4, 2011Doors Open 6:30 pm, Film Program 7:00 pm-9:30 pmCEMEX Auditorium at the Knight Management Center, Stanford Graduate School of Business

Join Stanford PACS in collaboration with Spark, the Clayman Institute for Gender Research and CDDRL’s Program on Social Entrepreneurship for a special evening screening of the newly released fi lm, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, a story set in 19th century China and centered on the lifelong friendship between two girls who develop their own secret code as a way to contend with the rigid cultural norms imposed on women.

The fi lm will be followed by a Q&A with Director Wayne Wang; Producers Wendi Murdoch and Florence Sloan; and Author Lisa See. This program will also launch a new Stanford initiative to facilitate an intergenerational conversation on the women’s movement. As such, the Q&A will focus on a historical framing of the women’s movement, the role of culture in shaping feminism and the ways in which leadership within the movement is transferred between generations.
