WGR11056 - Joan of Arc: What the Maid of Orleans Has to Say To 21st Century Women, Part 2
9/27/2016
(Program WGR11056) Guests: Siobhan Nash-Marshall
How does an illiterate, 19 year old peasant girl with no military training or experience gain the confidence of the French Dauphin to lead an army of men into battle?
And how does she inspire this army of men to heed her directives? What characterizes such a woman? And why might her witness and example speak to the unprecedented challenges facing women of the 21st Century.
Our guest today can give us insight. She is a Professor of Philosophy and holds two doctorates.
