Unpredictability and uncertainty are two words that could succinctly summarize 2020. After a year punctuated by factors outside of anyone’s control, the Haverford Speaker Series for Women® 2021 programming focuses on things you can – and should – control now. From your own personal well-being to your investing and spending decisions, this year’s speakers and topics aim to empower and educate you to serve as the President & CEO of your own life.

An invitation will be sent at least two weeks prior to each event. We hope you’ll be able to join us for these virtual presentations and explore ways you can take control now to be better prepared in the long run.

When Women Lost the Vote: The Complex History of Female Property Ownership
The Museum of the American Revolution exhibition When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776 – 1807 explores the history of the nation’s first women voters and examines how political conflict led to their voting rights being stripped away. The exhibit’s curator, Dr. Marcela Micucci, will bring the experience to you virtually, highlighting the role property ownership played in the story. You’ll also hear Haverford’s perspective on property ownership in the present day and how to organize the documents, partners, and information you should know as a potential or current head of household.
