It is because of women like Rosa Parks, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sally Ride, Oprah Winfrey and Clara Barton that the whole month of March still isn't enough time to recognize the contributions of women throughout history. In recognition of the bravery of these women and that of countless others, Penn State Brandywine will dedicate much of March to educating and engaging the community in conversations about women.
Each of the following events is free and open to the public.
