She long championed the rights of women in the Church, but now she is a Canadian Anglican priest. Her three books are: Is the Pope Catholic?

Maimuna Mwidau grew up in a polygamous household. Her father was Mayor of Mombasa and later a Member of Parliament. He saw political "convening power" in this daughter and encouraged her interest in politics. She was educated in Kenya and Canada, and became both a political analyst and an activist for women's political rights. Diana Wanyonyi interviewed her about her work on women's inclusion in Kenya's Constitution and her election observer work in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Somalia. While Mwidau once ran for a political office, she doesn't see a level playing field yet for women in her country, which lags behind many others in that respect. She would like elections to be about the issues, instead of mainly religion, tribe, and party affiliations. She comments on the failure to yet fully implement women's inclusion in politics in Kenya, and the possibility that the constitutional provision might be overturned. Mwidau was honored in 2013 for her work alongside both the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute - the foreign policy funding arms of the two major US political parties. She is a well known political analyst for various media, and is still researching barriers to women's political participation and how to make change.

07:00-7:30 : WINGS #28-22 Linguist Dale Spender 
Characteristics of women's speech, 1989 

Dr. Dale Spender is an Australian feminist scholar, teacher, writer and consultant. The book Man Made Language (1980) is based on Spender's PhD research in London and Australia. In it, she argued that in patriarchal societies men control language, so that it is used to their advantage. This talk by Spender delivered in San Francisco in 1989 focuses on her research into characteristics of women's speech, and references some of her later works including Invisible Women: The Schooling Scandal, Reflecting Men: At Twice Their Natural Size, and Women of Ideas and What Men Have Done to Them. Her findings showed that in conversations with men, women were regularly interrupted and talked far less than half the time; they also skillfully used eliciting cues that were useful - but not respected - in journalism. She stated that most women but few men used language to create harmony in groups, and that women used language skills to keep men feeling good so that they would not misbehave. Listeners are asked to consider whether this culture of women's language use continues today.
