SUMMARY:Fireside Chat Series with Dilsey M. Davis
DESCRIPTION:Women and men are equal and always have been\, but the expression of this spiritual truth has been suppressed in much the same ways as we have seen with the suppression of racial equality. During this conversation\, we will discuss this core principle and examine how the continued suppression of women’s rights by men is hindering women and men from achieving their full potential. We will also talk about efforts that are going on around the country to advance women’s full participation in building a just society.
