Join us at Penn State York for an insightful OLLI course, 'Unpacking Women's Presidential Aspirations,' where we'll explore the evolving landscape of female leadership in politics. Guided by Professor Jane Sutton, this course is a retrospective look at historical figures and a deeper dive into the ongoing dialogue about women's roles in presidential politics. We'll examine how past events have set the stage for today's discussions on gender equality and political representation. This course will challenge perceptions, encourage civic engagement, and question what it truly means for a woman to ascend to power. Engage with us on January 24, 2024, to contribute to a vital conversation beyond historical milestones to the heart of the American dream.
