This conference recognizes the suppression of femaleness as a primary meaning of Western and other cultures over a long period. It seeks to identify, document, account for, and interpret this suppression via the forms it takes--many still concealed, clandestine, underexplored--and their counterforms, from early periods to the present, and to identify and describe newly developing practices that counter it. Exposures, descriptions, and theorizations of such suppression are essential to projecting a future for femaleness in human societies.
