Dear Friends of the One World Library,
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. 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.
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.
