Description
In Scholar Moms we will be reading deeper, growing our scholar skills, looking for patterns and connections, writing about what we learn and discussing our ideas with others.
This discussion group is based on active participation. Moms talking with moms while reading great books and great ideas.
If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women.
