“Nude-In:” Grinnell College Students Protest Playboy Magazine
Ten students—six women and four men—removed their clothes at Grinnell College, Iowa, to protest a talk by Bruce Draper, representative of Playboy Magazine. “We protest Playboy’s images of women as lapdog playthings,” they announced.
Five women (described as “girls” in a Kansas newspaper) were charged with indecent exposure and eventually found guilty in 1971.
Forty years later, to commemorate the nude-in, a student organized a Naked Photo Shoot. Fifty Grinnell students participated, and half of them allowed their pictures to be used in a public display.
