A symposium, “From ‘Studying Her Absence’ to Finding Her Voice: 50 Years of Coeducation at Exeter,” will be held on April 23-24 and will feature a conversation with globally-renowned journalist and political activist Gloria Steinem.

For those community members who would like to consider the topics more deeply, there will be a series of five readings and discussions prior to the symposium. The fourth session will review the reading entitled, The Double Bind for Women: Exploring the Gender Nature of Turnaround Leadership in a Principle Preparation Program with Jennie Weiner, associate professor of educational leadership, University of Connecticut.
