SUMMARY:VIRTUAL Herstory book group
DESCRIPTION:The Coolidge Museum at Forbes Library is starting a new book 
 group in 2024 to focus of reading women's history and social history.  
 \n\nAs her husband John met in Philadelphia to discuss forming a new 
 nation\, Abigail Adams wrote to implore him\, 'I desire you would remember 
 the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.' 
 Alas\, it would be another 150 years before they even got the right to 
 vote. But women were neither silent nor passive then or now.\n\nTo elevate 
 the voices of women in American history\, a new book club is being offered 
 by the The Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library and Museum. The inspiration 
 for the club\, Herstory: Women in American History\, came from some members 
 of the museum's Presidential Book Club\, who expressed a desire to read 
 more about the context of historical figures\, and to hear from and about 
 the women involved in the building of our nation.\n\nSelections in the book 
 club will include biographies of women interspersed with texts on 
 significant periods in American history. This way\, book club members can 
 place the women they read about in context and gain a fuller understanding 
 of their challenges and achievements.\n\nThis group meets on Zoom on the 
 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7:30 PM \n\nThis group is moderated by 
 Coolidge Museum Committee members Leslie Skantz-Hodgson (Smith Vocational 
 School Librarian) and Rob Weir (retired professor of history).\n\nTo join 
 the email list or for more information\, email Coolidge@forbeslibrary.org
