Symposium: "The Role of Women in the U.S."

As part of International Week on campus, USF St. Petersburg presents this symposium with a dozen women leaders from throughout the Middle East, as well as from the Tampa Bay area. They will discuss the women’s movement in the U.S. and the scope of American women's involvement in business, law, political parties, unions, education, health care and volunteerism, organizers say.

The visiting women include elected officials, community leaders, educators, journalists and human-rights leaders from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and the Palestinian Territories, organizers say.
