The History Of Women Reinventing The World On Tuesday's Access Utah

Utah Women's Giving Circle

The Utah Women’s Giving Circle is presenting a series of events this month and next titled “Resilience 2020: From Susan B. Anthony to RBG: The History, Resilience, and Call to Community.” The first event is this week. Katherine Kitterman and Tiffany Greene from Better Days 2020 will discuss “The History of Women Reinventing the World.”

They will paint the historical backdrop of how women have led forward in times of difficulty, coming together to create the cultural movements that shaped our state, nation and world for the better. Katherine Kitterman and Tiffany Greene will join us for Access Utah on Tuesday.
