Storytelling Global Women’s Strike 2001 Monday, February 5, 7:30pm Last year, women and girls from 64 countries joined the first global women's strike on March 8, International Women's Day. Phoebe Schellenberg and Pat Albright of the Crossroads Women's Center in Germantown will show a video compilation of the strike, which was called and coordinated by the International Wages for Housework Campaign.
