From the Columbia Spectator: Athena Film Festival not just for feminists

February 10, 2011

Barnard is no stranger to seeing female leaders on campus, and this week’s Athena Film Festival: A Celebration of Women and Leadership will bring another host of female luminaries—this time, from the film industry—to its doorstep.
