Oxford Round Table on Women's Rights | Member
Martha was selected through a highly competitive process to participate in the Oxford Round Table on Women's Rights, held at Oxford University in England in 2005. The experience involved an exciting and rigorous academic project in which Martha researched and formally presented her findings on Women's Rights as they pertain to those acquired through marital and property laws. Martha delivered her presentation on the final day of formal meetings, and was pleased when a firestorm of debate ensued. Martha tactfully moderated the debate, resulting in an impassioned discussion that lasted well into the afternoon. At the closing banquet, when Martha's name was called to receiver her Certificate of Membership in the Oxford Round Table, she was humbled by a standing ovation for her work.
