Portrait of Elizabeth I celebrating her victory over the Spanish Armada
In March and April, 2014, I will be teaching a seven week course on “Women in Power” at the University of Toronto, School of Continuing Studies, examining history’s most politically significant women and their influence over women in public life today. I encourage all history and politics enthusiasts in the Toronto area to consider enrolling. There will be lively discussion of history and current events as the legacy of such towering figures as Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great and Queen Victoria continues to shape the public image presented by female political figures today.
