Women: The Forgotten "Men" In History (OOL)
Osher Online | Registration opens Tuesday, February 4, 2025 10:00 AM
Many individuals contribute to history but never get their due. Women and other marginalized groups traditionally received less ink in history books than the “great men” of history who were mainly white males. This course looks at nine women--three each session--whose achievements are not commonly known. Among the nine women are a scientist, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a pioneering pilot, a suffragist, a candidate for the U. S. presidency, an activist for women’s and African-American’s rights, a British anthropologist, and a pioneering politician from the Western U.S.
Class schedule: Live lectures will take place on Mondays, 3/31-5/5 (6) via ZOOM
