Founding Mothers (OLLI) – Zoom

We all know that women in history are usually relegated to a second-class status and often dependent on their spouse. That practice does us the disservice of failing to learn about many fascinating women. Join this class to hear about the earliest revolutionary women of America – those pioneers, fighters, writers, businesswomen, inventors, advocates, and politically savvy patriots whose contributions helped birth this nation.
This program is led by Roberta Matz, BA, University of Pennsylvania; BHL, Gratz College; MA, University of Wisconsin. Roberta was a classroom educator for 30 years, teaching French and Hebrew languages and Judaic studies in public and private Jewish day schools. She also served as education director at a synagogue. Roberta later worked for the Jewish Federations of Greater Philadelphia and Delaware, focusing on Jewish life and learning, community development, and outreach.
