A controversial figure in her time and still today, she is the subject of the new Netflix film, &#8220;The Most Hated Woman in America,&#8221; titled after the moniker Life magazine assigned to O&#8217;Hair in 1963 and starring Melissa Leo.<\/p>\n<p>The film itself has been met with significant controversy, including from the American Atheists organization itself.\u00a0Former AA president Frank Zindler has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.debunking-christianity.com\/2017\/04\/blame-victim-review-of-most-hated-woman.html\">published a review<\/a> of the film challenging a lot of the factual claims of the story as told through the film and characterizing its dramatization as &#8220;blaming the victim&#8221; for tragic fate of O&#8217;Hair and her family. Nonetheless, we want to come together and offer the film a thoughtful, potentially critical treatment and consider its implications.<\/p>\n<p>Join us and the Humanist Community at Tufts for a screening of the new film and a discussion about gender, atheism, and religion in public life.
