It was followed by Svitlana Usenko’s slide show «Women’s World of America» which introduced the famous women of the USA (Pocahontas, Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Annie Oakley, Susie King Taylor, Isadora Duncan, Emma Goldman, Mary Pickford, Eleanor Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe, Angela Davis, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Madonna, Oprah Winfrey etc.).
Svitlana Kolesnikova is thinking...
In small groups the club members discussed the quotations of famous men about women. Each group summed up  their discussion for  other club members.
Discussion
Discussion about woman’s role in the society was rather enthusiastic – male and female club members shared their opinions.
1.     What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘women’?
2.     What are women best at?
3.     What is the most annoying thing about women?
4.     How would the world be different if all leaders were women?
5.     Who are the greatest women in your country’s history?
6.     What do women like and dislike about being women?
7.     Do you think women should be allowed to fight in wars?
8.     Why do women like fashion so much?
9.     What common characteristics do all women share?
10.  Are women cleverer than men?
11.  How will women be different 100 years from now?
12.  Joseph Conrad said: "Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men." What does this mean? Do you agree?
13.  Harriet Beecher Stowe said: "Women are the real architects of society." Do you agree?
14.  Are women equal to men?
15.  Who’s the greatest American woman you know?

The second half of the meeting was a farewell tea party of the English Speaking Club Speaker – Svitlana Kolesnikova. A lot of kind words were said to her by the club members.

The number of the visitors – 35.
