Word Week celebrates International Women's Day, Friday, May 8 with "Thelma & Louise: Back Behind the Wheel." Remember this iconic road movie directed by Ridley Scott in 1991 about two friends on a heady weekend trip that turns crazy as they become desperados in a high-speed flight from the law? Remember how they drove off the cliff? Would Thelma and Louise have more options today? Would they need to drive off a cliff into the Grand Canyon or could they turn around and forge a life? How far have women come 25 years on? Indeed, have things really changed for women? 7pm, Folio Books San Francisco with San Francisco Chronicle film critic Ruthe Stein, documentary filmmaker Wendy Slick, law professor Susan Rutberg, and moderator Maxine Einhorn. Free admission.
