McManus Room
Kate Walbert, 2004 National Book Award finalist for Our Kind, will lead a discussion of her new book, A Short History of Women, which offers a profoundly moving portrayal of the complicated legacies of mothers and daughters. Covering historical events from the social upheaval of pre-WWI Britain to VJ day in New York City, a feminist conscious-raising in the '70s and the Internet age, the lives of these women are intricately and grippingly revealed. Kirkus reviews call it, “Daring and devastating—20th century history made personal.”
