MTSU is hosting an event called Women of True Grit on March 12, 1: 00 PM- 5:00 PM at Tucker Theatre.

This event is free and open to the public, no registration or ticket required.

The Women of True Grit event is designed to celebrate and empower women of all ages. The event, which is part of MTSU’s National Women’s History Month celebration, was inspired by the book Edie Hand’s Women of True Grit, which profiles more than 60 women who navigated with grit to transform their lives and those of the people around them. This event features several of the women profiled in her project.

They will share their stories of battling racism, sexism, disabilities, cancer, loss, and other obstacles on their journey to fulfill their dreams. There will be something for everyone!
