Women, Power, and Progress: A Global Journey Through History

The World Affairs Council of Charlotte is honored to host Dr. Nina Ansary— award-winning Iranian-American author, historian, and women’s rights advocate for a lunch event on March 13, 2025, exploring the evolution of women’s progress through history.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month in March, we recognize the often overlooked yet profound impact of women on societies, economies, and political landscapes. From ancient rulers to modern changemakers, their courage, resilience, and leadership have shattered barriers and redefined power.

Join us for a lunchtime discussion, where Dr. Ansary will examine the systemic challenges women have faced throughout history and the strategies driving continued progress today.
