DAMES WHO READ
Join us as we meet to discuss a food-focused book. We meet every six weeks when a Dame selects the book and leads the discussion. All Dames are welcome. The host chooses a nonfiction or fiction book (not a recipe book), preferably one that is available in the library or can be purchased at a low price that lends itself to a thoughtful discussion. Eileen maintains a list of suitable books to aid the host in her selection. If you are interested in hosting or have any questions about Dames Who Read, contact Eileen Dykes at eileendykes@gmail.com. BOOK SELECTION: A Woman's Place: The Inventors, Rumrunners, Lawbreakers, Scientists, and Single Moms Who Changed the World by Deepi Ahluwalia, Jessica Olah and Stef Ferrari DATE: Monday, June 7 TIME: 7-8:30 p.m. HOST: Paula Jacobson ZOOM LINK: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82924542276 Discover the trailblazing women who changed the world from their kitchens. If "a woman's place is in the kitchen," why is the history of food such an old boys' club? A Woman's Place sets the record straight, sharing stories of more than 80 hidden figures of food who made a lasting mark on history.
