The Program in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies
In honor of National Women’s History Month and QPenn, the Alice Paul Center and GSWS Program are celebrating the people who have inspired us through their support, encouragement, and wisdom. Who has made a difference in your life? Did they inspire you, support you, teach you, or strengthen your belief in your own abilities? We invite you to join this project by sharing your story about an inspiring person in your life who has helped you to become the person you are today.
“Sage Supporters” testimonials can take the form of short essays, poetry, videos, podcasts, or other creative media. A selection of submissions will be featured on the APC-GSWS website during National Women’s History and QPenn Month, March 2018. “Sage Supporters” need not be women to be featured on our website.
