The Committee on Women's Studies will inaugurate a lecture series on Friday when Ann F. Scott, professor of History at Duke University, speaks on the role of women in the nineteenth century.
The lectures on women-related issues are named in honor of the late Isabel G. MacCaffrey, Kenan Professor of History and Literature, who died last year while serving as the first female chairman of the History and Literature Committee.
Edward L.
