The League of Women Voters of the Tanana Valley will be screening the movie Who's Counting?: Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies & Global Economics at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 28.

The screening will take place at the Blue Loon, 2999 Parks Highway. There will be a discussion on Waring’s Alternative Vision of Economic Theory following the movie.

The film is billed with the following quote: "When Marilyn Waring was elected to the New Zealand parliament in 1975 she thought she might one day return to her first love, classical music. Instead, the 22-year-old member of Parliament was re-elected three times and blazed a trail that eventually overturned her government on the nuclear issue and launched her as the foremost spokesperson for global feminist economics."

Cost is $10 for adults, and $5 with a student ID. Go online for more information or contact the UAF Women's Center at  474-6360 or fywoc@uaf.edu.
