Dean Drew Gilpin Faust:
Women Without Money Introduction
  Dean Drew Gilpin Faust introduces the Women, Money, and Power conference and the Enterprising Women: 250 Years of American Business exhibition and outlines the goals of the “Women Without Money” panel discussion.

Notes Dean Faust, "Women without money have to be entrepreneurs, too. They have to figure out the strategies, the positionings that they are going to undertake in order to survive in a world in which they are very financially pressed.... What does entrepreneurship mean for those who have very little with which to stake their claims? The comparison between women without money and women with money will be very revealing."

Dean Faust then introduces the panel’s moderator, Katherine Newman, dean of social science at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and the Malcolm Wiener Professor of Urban Studies at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
