Women of Influence

Join the Discussion

All women are women of influence.

Every day, we have everlasting influence over those in our lives in our many roles as mothers, wives, daughters, co-workers. Some women, either by choice or by accident, exert an influence beyond their immediate reach and have impact at the national and international level. The Center for Women brings national and international women of influence to Charleston for lectures, discussion and conversation on a periodic basis..

The first “Women of Influence” event in June 2008 was a talk and discussion with Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, eldest daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, and author of Failing America's Faithful: How Today's Churches are Mixing God with Politics and Losing their Way.
