They Called Us Girls with Author Kathleen Stone: Tuesday, July 15 from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Back in the day, they were called girls. And today? How and why did some women of the mid-20th century establish themselves in successful professional careers when society expected them to stay home? This question is what Kathleen Stone set out to discover as she began interviewing seven highly accomplished women now in their 80s and 90s. She found that a multi-faceted set of influences shaped these women and fueled their ambition, influences that are as important today as they were nearly a century ago.
