Title

Mary Daly Lecture / Unidentified Dance

Description

Tape is divided into two sections.

In the first section, radical feminist and theologian Mary Daly lectures about misogyny in the medical field, including the widespread use of Hormone Replacement Therapy for menopausal women and the increased risk of cancer associated with the birth control pill. She also informs her audience about the career of surgeon James Burt who, for approximately 30 years, reconstructed women’s genitalia after childbirth, often without consent, thinking that they were poorly designed for sexual pleasure.

The second section of the tape, which is in poor condition and has soft focus, features a woman performing a dance.
