The UTM Faculty Women's Club will host a luncheon at 11:30 a.m., March 5, in Room 206 of the UC, in observance of Women's History Month.
Dr. Mary Lemons, UTM professor of management, will be the guest speaker at 12:15 p.m.
Her topic is "Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Lessons From a Management Pioneer."
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased from board members, at the university center information desk and at the Apple Barrel in Martin. For free child care, call Annie Schommer at 588-0794 by March 1.
The luncheon is open to the public. For more information, contact Penny Moser at 731-588-5766.
Lemons' presentation will examine the background and career of a woman pioneer in management, Lillian Gilbreth (1878-1972), and relate her challenges in achieving recognition in the "man's world" of the early 20th century to the problems of women today.
Gilbreth was an author, the recipient of many honorary degrees and the mother of 12.
She is perhaps best remembered for motherhood. Her children wrote the popular books, "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "Belles on Their Toes" about their experiences growing up with such a large and famous family. But, Lillian Moller Gilbreth was not only a mother; she was an engineer and an industrial psychologist.
Following a brief summary of background literature on the glass ceiling, Lemons will review the early life of Gilbreth, her educational opportunities, accomplishments and her significant achievements in a male-dominated field. Then, she will examine the relationship of Gilbreth's experiences to the challenges of women who are attempting to break the glass ceiling today.
