Wells, to transformative leaders Ruth Bader Ginsburg, bell hooks, Gloria Steinem and Toni Morrison, and to contemporary beneficiaries including, Amanda Gorman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Greta Thunberg, workshop attendees will examine how women’s communication has created lasting pathways for knowledge, opportunity, and leadership, preserved and passed forward across generations.
