SHOWING
I have heard a number of lectures by Ruth. She knows a lot and makes the subject matter come alive. Would recommend any of her lectures, trips or virtual adventures.

I enjoyed learning about women who did so many important things, that unfortunately we often know very little about. Ruth Polling is so knowledgeable and engaging, and I always learn so much from her presentations.

Very interesting and informative. If you can't go to England right now, an online program with Ruth Polling could be the next best thing!

Excellent! The lecturer had done so much research, knew her subjects so well, was enthusiastic, and her joy came through. Learned so very much about 10 amazing women. Can hardly wait to sign up for another online class, and we have already signed up for 4 more but now want even more. Such an easy way to learn.

The presentation about 10 of the statues to real women in London was full of information about what each woman contributed to her society, the conditions in which she contributed, why the location of the statue was relevant to the woman's life, and who made the sculpture, complete with pictures of the sculptures. The speaker was clear, moved at a reasonable pace, and had a reason for her selection of the 10 specific statues. The presentation made me want to find some of the statues when I am in London, and to wonder about the statues to women in our national and my state capital city. A great contribution to my celebration of Women's History Month.

Unable to afford online presentations that carry a cost so very much enjoyed this free presentation. Interesting as well as informative.
