Welcome to women in history! In this class we will take a look a the lives and impact of different women, both from history and modern day. We will talk about their childhood, influences and inspirations, their accomplishments, and how history has remembered them. Each class will consist of a 20-25 minute lecture about the woman (or women) we are learning about, and then an open discussion about that woman in her life. 


This is a subscription class, which means:
            - Each week is an independent class. You pay for each week that you would like to join. You can pay for each week that you choose to attend class. There is no start or end date, so feel free to come and go as your schedule dictates.
             - As this is a weekly subscription class, there is no homework. Each class will consist of a powerpoint lecture, some videos, and a brief history about the field or time period that each woman lived in. The last 15-20 minutes of class will be a guided discussion about the journey each of these women took in their lives. Each student is encouraged to examine the topics discussed, look at how society helped or discriminated against each of these women, and explore how society has changed. 



Classes are 40-55 minutes long. The length of class will be dependent on the number of students enrolled and the discussion at the end of class. Class schedule subject to change.
