Women Who Made a Difference (Zoom) AIL
Winter (9 - 13.5 hours) | Available (Membership Required)
In this ongoing lecture series, now in its sixth iteration, we showcase women who have made a difference in the world we all live in. The women selected by this year’s speakers are particularly unique. Some will be familiar to you, but their contributions will be looked at in new ways, providing you with a fresh view of their importance in shifting cultural norms; others may be unknown to you. Either way, the amazing accomplishments of all these women highlight the superior standards of extraordinary achievement.
