In celebration of Women's History Month, the Cambridge Public Library will display “Still Marching 1970-2017" by award-winning filmmaker and photographer, Liane Brandon.  

“Still Marching 1970 - 2017” brings together photographs of two Boston women’s marches nearly 50 years apart. The Boston Women’s March of 1970 was organized by Bread and Roses, a feminist collective that began in Cambridge in the 1960s. In 2017, millions continued to march for women's rights, immigration reform, healthcare reform, disability justice, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, and racial equality. It was one of the largest global movements, with some estimates saying nearly six million people participated in marches in the United States. Photographer Liane Brandon was there to capture both moments in history.  

Liane Brandon is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer and University of Massachusetts/Amherst Professor Emerita. She was one of the first independent women filmmakers working in New England. She is a co-founder of New Day Films and was a member of Bread and Roses, one of the earliest “women's liberation” groups in Massachusetts.  Currently working as a still photographer, her photography credits include stills for the PBS series American Experience, Nova, and American Masters. Her photos have been published in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe and many other publications.   

"Liane Brandon’s photographs of the original 1970 Women’s March are of great historical import and are beautiful works of art in themselves,” said Zachary Bond, Program and Events Coordinator for the Cambridge Public Library.

The event is sponsored by The Cambridge Public Library, The Cambridge Commission on the Status of Women and The Cambridge Historical Commission with support from The Cambridge Arts Council.
