#1011 Powerful Women Ahead of Their Time

Instructor: Marcy Heidish Dolan

Heroines are compelling, whether they are haloed or beheaded. They intrigue us, these women: iconic — but not always angelic. Trailblazers all, risk-takers most, they challenge us as never before. In this course we will explore the “heroine archetype” in America and abroad, through such examples as Harriet Tubman, Underground Railroad conductor; “Mother” Mary Jones, pioneering labor leader; Martha Graham, founder of modern dance; Immaculée Ilibagiza, Rwandan rebel; Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist; Corrie ten Boom, holocaust resister, and many more.  Come for insight and inspiration.
