GREAT WOMEN LEADERS

With sword and shield, or on horseback with bow and arrow, many women have led their armies to war. Others have been great parliamentarians, while some pushed major change at lower levels while their male contemporaries whittled time away on the throne. This course will look at a dozen women who have led their country into the future, to success or failure, in countries around the world. Some familiar, some not, all are taken from a wide range of places and times and will be considered in their wider context and influence.
