Take a closer look at the lives of women who shaped history, in a course offered by the Oakton Community College Emeritus Program.
Famous Women Who Made a Difference (HIS E99-71) focuses on women in history who made important contributions to society. Students will learn about Beatrice Mendes, a Jewish philanthropist who helped Jews escape the Inquisition; Fanny Kemble, a British actress and abolitionist; and Helen Suzman, a South African opponent of apartheid and champion for human rights. This four-week course meets 2:30 - 4 p.m. on Thursdays, starting March 11, at the Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave, Skokie. Course fee is $50.
