A discussion of women as internationalists and the 1975 United Nations conference in Mexico City, part of a conference on Sharing the Future, held at the New School for Social Research and sponsored by the Human Relations Work Study Center.

The panelists are Zohreh "Zuzu" Tabatabai from the Iranian Mission to the U.N.; Angela King, Social Affairs Officer of the International Women's Year secretariat; Betty Friedan, American feminist; and Betty Reardon, School Program Director at the Institute for World Order.
