An Exploritas @ Medford Leas (formerly Elderhostel) Program: Women in Social & Political Leadership
 

In 2009, a record number of women were awarded Nobel Prizes - in literature, economics, medicine and chemistry. With women also occupying positions such as the U.S. Secretary of State, justices of the Supreme Court, as well as heads of state in Latin America, Africa and Asia, the growing power and influence of women in today's world is undeniable. Success stories like these would not be possible were it not for the courage, discipline and sacrifice of generations of women stretching from Seneca Falls to the halls of power of the 21st century. Join us for this national series, as we take a comprehensive look at women's history and make a call to service to inspire the next generation of women in social and political leadership.
