NLC Looks at the Glass Ceilings and Brick Walls Women Face

In Upcoming Events

By Cecilia Nasmith/Northumberland 89.7/Today’s Northumberland
Women once faced glass ceilings – now they face brick walls.

At such a time, Northumberland Learning Connection explores the challenge with a Feb. 13 Zoom session featuring award-winning journalist and author Elizabeth Renzetti.

In What She Said: Conversations About Equality, Renzetti explored how women across a wide range of experiences continue to face barriers – and looked back at how they made progress in the face of devastating setbacks and kept the faith in challenging times.

Renzetti worked for the Globe & Mail in London, Los Angeles and Berlin. In 2020, she won the Landsberg Prize for her reporting on gender equality. Her 90-minute NLC session promises to be an engaging soul-searching and even funny presentation just for the NLC audience.

Northumberland Learning Connection offers these stand-alone events on the issues of our times, as well as entire series centring around a single theme. In the past, they have focused on such issues as AI and Alberta, and their fall series was Space: Light Years and Dark Matter.

Tickets for the Feb. 13 session are available for $25 on the NLC website. Recordings will be made available to ticket purchasers, but you must be at the 7:30 p.m. session if you want to ask questions.
