DRAWING HOMER In a lecture titled “The Poet and His Portrait: Representations of Homer in the 19th Century,” curator Roger Diederen investigates how artists in the 1800s depicted the Greek poet.
Tonight, 6:30 p.m., Dahesh Museum of Art, 580 Madison Ave., between 56th and 57th streets, 212-759-0606, free with museum admission, $10 general, $8 seniors, $6 students, children under 12 free.
FUTURE OF FEMINISM The author “The Death of Feminism” (Palgrave Macmillan), Phyllis Chesler, lectures on the future of the women’s movement. Her new book argues that pressure to toe the party line – rejecting capitalism, scorning religion, and opposing the war – contradicts feminism’s origins as a pro-individualist movement. She also accuses liberal feminists of remaining silent about Is lamic terrorism and the status of women in the Middle East. Tomorrow, 7 p.m., CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Ave. at 34th Street, 212-817-8215, $20 general, $10 seniors and students.
