Course Title: International Women's Rights: A Second Summer Film Festival
Participant Testimonials:

Excellent in every way. Valerie is extremely knowledgeable about, and experienced in so many aspects of women's rights. Her choice of films was eye-opening, and her preparation for each added enormously to my understanding.

This course should be required - very informative of what needs to be and can be achieved by women.

The materials (documentary videos) were an excellent, eclectic assortment...sadly depressing but extremely informative. Valerie moderated our discussions skillfully.
