University Open Air: Women in American Politics: a Global Perspective
This event has been cancelled.
**Please note: Due to the forecast of rain throughout the day, today’s (Thursday, September 9) University Open Air classes have been cancelled. We will notify registered patrons if we’re able to reschedule these classes for another day.
In this course, we will address the question: is American society ready to accept women as political leaders?
Women leaders have long led other countries in other parts of the world including Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan; Indra Gandhi, India; Tansu Çiller, Turkey; and Haseena wajid Bangladesh and Chandrika Kumaratunga, Sri Lanka.
