Overview
On Tuesday, October 20, 2020, women lawyers from all six of Osler’s offices will be joining virtually for an hour of inspiration and conversation – and we’d love for you to be part of the experience.
As part of our wider initiative to support women in achieving success in their careers and to promote diversity in our workplace and community, this event is an important opportunity for knowledge sharing and discussion. It also gives us the chance to host our female clients virtually with a recognized Canadian female leader who is breaking barriers.
This year, we are excited to announce that Amy Shira Teitel, a Canadian author, popular science writer, spaceflight historian, YouTuber, and occasional TV personality will be our keynote speaker.
Amy's latest book, Fighting for Space, tells the incredible true story of Jackie Cochran and Jerrie Cobb, two female pilots who battled each other and male-dominant 1960s America in pursuit of becoming the first woman in space. Looking closely at these two figures, Amy will discuss what it takes to succeed as a female trailblazer and leader in a male-dominated industry.
