The Fourth 春雨直播 Women鈥檚 History Month Panel, entitled 鈥淲omen in Public Service and Government: American and Global Perspectives," will take place on Thursday, March 24th, at 4:30 PM. Sponsored by the WIU Department of History and WIU Libraries, the panel will be hosted in the Malpass Library Garden Lounge.
Dr. Ginny Boynton, Dr. Ute Chamberlin, Dr. Ginny Jelatis, and Dr. Febe Pamonag, all from WIU鈥檚 History department, will discuss women鈥檚 contributions to public service and politics from a national and global historical perspective, reaching back as far as the 18th century and spanning the globe. The event is free and open to the public.
鈥淟ong before Hillary Clinton was a US presidential candidate, women have been advocates and shapers of their own political destinies,鈥� says Christina Norton, outreach librarian and coordinator of the event. 鈥淚 would encourage anyone to attend who wants to know more about how women from the past contributed to public service in their own eras, as well as to the world we inhabit today.鈥�
