This talk offers the view on women and feminism through the centuries. This lecture is a  journey through time, as we unravel the captivating narrative of women’s roles and the ever-evolving views on the female gender. From ancient civilizations to the modern era, the treatment of women has been a profound reflection of society’s progress and its enduring challenges. We will journey back to ancient civilizations where goddesses held divine powers and women ruled as queens and priestesses. Then, we’ll venture into eras where women were silenced, their voices confined by societal norms. Witness the seismic shifts that occurred during the suffrage movements and the resolute strides women have taken towards equality. Our exploration will delve into the arts, literature, politics, and the ever-influential world of entertainment, where women have been both portrayed and have portrayed themselves, reflecting the prevailing attitudes of their times. Prepare to be captivated, challenged, and inspired as we unpack the complex tapestry of women’s history and their indomitable spirit throughout the ages on an ever-lasting quest for meaning and justice. This lecture is a time-traveling experience you won’t want to miss!
