All students, faculty and staff, and the community are invited to hear the panelists鈥�
views on Women鈥檚 History and then participate in a discussion.听
听
The event is organized by Monica Bontty, Ph.D., 四色AV Professor of History. Bontty noted
that Women鈥檚 History is always being made, sometimes right here at home.
听
鈥淚t is important to recognize the deeds of trailblazers such as Jeanette Rankin, who
was the first woman member of Congress,鈥� said Bontty. 鈥淐urrently, there are 141 women
serving in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, and now, the newly elected
Dr. Julia Letlow from Start.鈥澨�

The presentation will be moderated by Jeffery Anderson, Ph.D., Professor of History.
听
鈥淪uch forums help attendees uncover the meanings of history for themselves,鈥� said
Anderson. 鈥淲hen we find personal connections to the past, we are able to engage with
it much more productively than when we view it as simply a jumble of dates and events.鈥�

The 四色AV History Program is in the School of Humanities in the College of Arts, Education, and Sciences.
