Learning from Leaders

Susan Troller:

Female students at East High School learned in one morning how to be happy in love, what their rights and responsibilities are as young voters, and where to find a skilled, independent job that pays $30 to $50 an hour plus benefits.

The presentations were part of a new event at East called "Week of the Young Woman," which began Monday and continues through Friday, featuring more than 50 female community leaders who are talking about topics that range from date violence to finance and economics, nontraditional jobs and women's health issues. It was scheduled in early March as part of the recognition of Women's History Month; the talks are open only to East High students.
