Prof. Kathryn Reetzke (WKU History) will give a presentation titled: "Teaching Women and Agency in Ancient World History” 

Be immersed in the past through the words of women who predate our modern conceptions of "feminism" and the ways in which they formed their own identities in ancient societies. In this presentation Prof. Reetzke will discuss the primary sources she collected for teaching World History from the perspective of women where restrictions, laws, and cultural norms often attempted to negate women's power. An activity working with some of the sources and images of artifacts relating to this project will also be part of this presentation
