Women's History Conference 2024

 

We had a great time hosting the annual BSCTC women's history conference on Friday, March 22, 2024.  Tim Smith started us out with some self-portrait drawing, Michelle Fields discussed women's role in creating and expanding speculative literature, and Mary Wallen ended the lecture portion with a discussion of poetry.  They generously gave of their time and expertise to create a great conference.
