Conversations with Diana Block, author of Arm the Spirit: A Woman's Journey
Underground and Back

Friends and suporters,

Join HRC and the Pittsburgh Organizing Group in proudly sponsoring two events with
author Diana Block this week.

Thursday, May 5th: University of Pittsburgh, David Lawrence Hall Room 120, 1-3 PM

Friday, May 6th: The Union Project, 801 North Negley Avenue, 7-9 PM
Diana will read selections from her book, discuss her years in Pittsburgh and her
recent work with women prisoners and hold a Q & A session.

Forward this email and help spread the word.

Diana Block and her family lived and worked underground in Pittsburgh. In June of
1985, Diana and her two-week old son and five companions-all of them active in the
struggle for independence-fled L.A. after finding a surveillance device in their
car.

Her recent memoir explores this history and brings a feminist perspective to a
subject typically dominated by heroic, male discourse and offers unique insights
into the radical politics and culture of the 1970s.

Diana will read selections from her book, discuss her years in Pittsburgh and her
recent work with women prisoners.
