SUMMARY:VIRTUAL Herstory Book Group: A Warrior of the People
DESCRIPTION:This month's discussion will cover A Warrior of the People: How 
 Susan La Flesche Overcame Racial and Gender Inequality to Become America's 
 First Indian Doctor by Joe Starita. \n\n\nThe 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\n\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\n\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\n\n\nThis group meets on Zoom on the 2nd Wednesday of the 
 month at 7 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 \n\n \n\n
