JENKINTOWN, Pa. – The Ukrainian Dialogue, recently hosted by Manor College, proved especially timely thanks to recent political developments. U.S. Congresswoman Madeleine Dean, member of the Congressional Ukrainian Caucus, and Myroslava Gongadze, chief of the Ukrainian Service at Voice of America, spoke to a full house, with Manor College president, Dr. Jonathan Peri, serving as moderator.
The dialogue topic was “Emerging Women in Politics in, of, and for Ukraine,” and both Rep. Dean and Ms. Gongadze relied on their extensive knowledge in the field to inform the conversation.
Ms. Gongadze opened the discussion on October 11 by explaining how women can end up in politics: “Sometimes it takes a tragic life experience and a lot of courage to find one’s voice.”
