Gathering of Wonderwomen, Spring 2018
Our History…
WonderWomen began in the fall of 2010 as the first ever “Women’s Section” of the Forsyth County Medical Society in Winston-Salem, NC. For the first six years our group included women physicians from local community and tertiary hospitals. We gathered several times per year for book clubs, lectures, and discussion groups.
In the fall of 2016, we expanded our group to include other professional women, engaged community members, and interested female residents, PAs, and medical students. We have dedicated nights to challenging topics such as diversity and inclusion, sexual harassment and assault, misogyny, gender disparities in the workplace, #MeToo, the fallout and emotional impact of COVID, and issues of work/life balance that affect all working women. We have discussed an array of books including Dear Madam President, Thrive, Overwhelmed, Notorious RBG, Lean In, The Power of Off, The Emotionally Exhausted Woman, and Shrill, among others. For thirteen years and counting, this remarkable group of women never fails to lift and inspire one another.
