Book Talk: “A Woman’s War, Too: Women at Work During World War II”, with author Virginia Wright-Peterson
Author Virginia Wright-Peterson will talk about her newly published book, “Woman’s War, Too” that shares dramatic stories of women discovering their own potential in a time of national need, surprising themselves and others— and setting the roots of second-wave feminism.
Faribault’s own Liz Strofus is mentioned in the book as are many others. Participants are encouraged to share their own stories or stories of family members who made a difference, at home and abroad, during World War II.
This talk will be a Facebook Live event on the RCHS Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/rchistory
