POSTPONED
In light of the Pittsburgh attacks, we are canceling, with regret, Thursday’s event When #MeToo Meets the Midterms – How Gender and Politics Interact This Election Season.
We hope to offer some version of this program in the future.
It’s been a year of reckoning for women. There have been countless stories of harassment and assault, of prejudice and power dynamics. Amid the struggles, however, a movement gained traction, creating a sense of strength, solidarity and hope.
Join Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner as she leads, “When #MeToo Meets the Midterms – How Gender and Politics Interact This Election Season,” in conversation with Judith Shulevitz, a contributing op-ed writer for The New York Times, and Mattie Kahn, senior editor at Glamour Magazine.

Judith Shulevitz is an editor and culture critic, focusing on feminism, culture and science. In addition to the New York Times, she has written for Slate, The New York Times Book Review and The New Republic.

Mattie Kahn
Mattie Kahn is senior editor at Glamour. She covers news, politics and women’s issues. Her work has appeared in ELLE, BuzzFeed Reader, Cherry Bombe, Refinery29 and The Trace.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
