Calvin College will offer a variety of events
in March as part of a celebration of Women's History Month, including
a new film series and several lectures. A pair of talks by Calvin professors
promise to be among the highlights for the month.
On March 10 Calvin professor of sociology Michelle Loyd-Paige will look
at early African American women preachers in a talk titled "The Daughters
of Thunder." Interestingly Loyd-Paige is herself a minister of the
gospel who serves at Faith, Hope and Love Christian Center in Muskegon.
And on March 22 Calvin English professor Jennifer Holberg will shed light
on another set of female pioneers: the women who served their country
in World War II.
