Flagler College Women's History Project

The 2011 Flagler College Women’s History Project is a month long commemoration honoring women and the influence they have had and continue to have in American history. Comprised of 20 events, each open to the public, Flagler College will explore the impact and contributions of women in film, music, education, athletics, literature, and in times of war. We are proud to present the following featured speakers:

• Nancy Hogshead-Makar, Olympic Gold Medalist, former President of the Woman’s Sports Foundation, and current legal advisor. She is one of the nation’s foremost speaker and advocates for Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, particularly regarding gender equity in intercollegiate sports.
• Louise Vance, Award winning Producer and Director presents screening and discussion of the nationally premiered PBS film, Seneca Falls, a stunning history lesson of the women’s movement wrapped inside a teenage road trip.
