On March 27, 2019, Edith Bell and Susan Smith, Ph.D., gave a presentation to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) at the Federal Building in downtown Pittsburgh on the topic “Visionary Women: Champions of Peace and Nonviolence.”
The program was for National Women’s History Month. It was hard to choose which women to include but we included local, national, and international women. The program started with founders of WILPF and continued through the present, using photos and giving information about a dozen women. A time for questions and answers follow the initial presentation.
About 50 people attended. The presentation was well received—participants shared the names of some women they wanted to highlight and asked good questions.
Here is a copy of the PowerPoint. Others are welcome to use it as is or to update it to fit their needs.
