STATEMENT BY AUDRI PHILLIPS, FOUNDER OF THE “LADIES OF COURAGE” FESTIVAL
“A major motivation for creating the Ladies of Courage festival is that the history of the world to a large extent has always been defined by the deeds of men and framed by wars. The contributions of women have been short changed. I wanted to do something to help correct that oversight and honor the courage and deeds of women. Women role models help young girls believe in themselves, show them what is possible, while helping young boys see women as equals. This is especially needed in these times when the rights of women are being so heavily encroached upon.”
