In Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries, author Naomi Wolf , who also wrote the NYT bestsellerThe End of America and The Beauty Myth, investigates the roots of a growing national malaise that has bred “fake democracy” in the United States over the last three decades, a condition marked by equally fake patriotism and a modern notion that we Americans are “the Elect.” She will discuss the breathtaking changes that can take place when ordinary citizens engage in the democratic system the way the founders intended and tells how to use that system, right now, to change your life, your community, and ultimately, the nation.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.

I am so glad you are having Naomi Wolf at our library.
I love the subject matter and have been enjoying her insightful writing in the NATION and other magazines and newspapers.
I would like to come . Do i need to reserve a seat or just show up?
