Empowering. Enriching. Motivating.

That’s the idea behind the Women’s Enrichment Series that features Indiana women who have “broken the mold.” 

Pegg Kennedy, Propylaeum Board Member and Chair of the Women’s Enrichment Series, tells us more:

-The Indianapolis Propylaeum is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing educational and cultural opportunities for women and the community and to maintain and preserving the historic Propylaeum located at 14th & Delaware in Indianapolis.
-The Propylaeum was founded in 1888 by May Wright Sewall, a nationally-renowned suffragist and speaker, and a small group of women.

-As part of the organization’s efforts to empower women, each year they hold the Marilyn K. Glick Women’s Enrichment Series, a three-part lecture series.

About The Indianapolis Propylaeum
In 1888 May Wright Sewall and a small group of women founded the Propylaeum for the purpose of “providing a love of literature, music, science and the fine arts; to emphasize a sense of civic responsibility and to furnish our city with a women’s social and cultural center.” The organization has operated continuously since then, and in 1973 the Propylaeum building located at 1410 North Delaware St. in Indianapolis was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
