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.
