In
Honor of Election Day!
To remind us all of the importance of Election Day, API will
host a movie night at historic Paulsdale. HBO's
Iron-Jawed Angels (2004) tells the remarkable story
of the aggressive women's suffrage campaign led by Alice
Paul (Hillary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Conner).
In their resourceful campaign for the vote, the two led
suffragists to parade, petition, and picket the White House
in 1917. Enduring arrests, brutal beatings and
harrowing forced-feedings in jail, the suffragists of the
National Woman's Party carried on, determined to win their
right to vote. |

Light refreshments will be served.

others help them. Learning how to navigate these instinctive
traits can give every woman the edge to become the ultimate
leader. This presentation showcases a range of personal & professional growth
topics including, but not limited to:
The workshop will focus on topics such
as:

Empowerment Strategies
- Building a Winning Team
- 20 Steps to Personal Excellence

About the Author:
Mary Walton
|
|
 A Woman’s Crusade:
Alice Paul and the Battle for the Ballot,
to be published by Palgrave Macmillan in August, 2010, is Mary
Walton’s fifth book. A former staff writer for many years at the
Philadelphia Inquirer, she is the author of three
business books, including a business best seller on the life and
teachings of quality expert W. Edwards Deming. Walton was born
in Honolulu on November 19, 1941, three weeks before the attack
on Pearl Harbor, where her father, a Navy diver, was
stationed. After the war she and her parents moved frequently
until her father retired from the Navy, and they settled in
Miami. She graduated from Harvard University and explored
playwriting, advertising, social work and community action
before settling into a career as a journalist. In 1992 she left
the Inquirer to write books and magazine articles. Her
stories have appeared in the New York Times and other
major newspapers, the American Journalism Review,
Harper’s, Washington Monthly and Washingtonian.
She and her husband, Charles Layton, another Inquirer veteran,
live in Ocean Grove, New Jersey.

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.
