UPDATE: Due to an illness in her family, Rula Quawas needs to return to Jordan and will be unable to speak on Thursday night (March 20th) at Lawrence Memorial Library on "The Women's Movement in Jordan: Pioneering Voices."
We hope to reschedule upon her return but do not yet have a date in mind.
The One World Library Project
~~~~~~~~
March Program in honor of Women’s History Month
Jordan’s women, their contributions to their country and their ongoing struggle for inclusion and rights will be described by Jordanian Fulbright scholar Rula Quawas at this month’s program of the One World Library Project in Bristol. In honor of Women’s History Month, the One World Library Project will present The Women's Movement in Jordan: Pioneering Voices on Thursday, March 20th from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol.
Quawas will devote her talk to giving voice to Jordanian women who have faced obstacles in achieving rights and who have fought long and hard to combat violence against women and for legal reform for gender justice. The program will give a glimpse of Jordanian women’s hopes and fears, of their inclusion and seclusion, of their silence and speech, and of their sense of the past and their picture of the future.
