On March 23rd, 2021, in collaboration with Lehigh Dialogue Center, Chestnut Retreat Center organized an online event where we discussed the topic of “Influential Women” in our lives. CRC delivered various presentations about inspirational women figures from poets to activists. We hope that this event was a great opportunity for us all to learn about and share the many contributions of women figures who’ve walked the earth.
The speakers and their choice of influential female figures are outlined below:
- Norma Levine: Betty Goldstein Friedan
- Laura Lawrence: Tahirih (also known as Zarrin-Taj and Qurratu’l-Ayn)
- Mukaddes Sablak: Melek Ipek and Khadija ibn Khuwaylid
- Susan Odessky: Amanda Gorman
- Joan Katz: Anne Frank
