Amercian thinker and philosopher R.W. Emerson said, "Women are by their power of conversation and their social influence the civilizers of humankind." He believed that women are the bastions of civilization and culture and the WDC of St. Mary’s College supports these sentiments and continues its efforts - to empower women in all segments of society towards ensuring a fair and a happier tomorrow |
