On Sunday, July 27, the Poughkeepsie Branch’s Sunday Author Series will explore the book, Remarkable Women in New York State History, a collection of short biographies of notable women from across the state throughout its history. The book is the end-product of an AAUW NYS project, “Women Making a Difference” and coauthored by Marilynn Smiley and AAUW NYS Historian, Helen Engel. Both Smiley and Engel will be on hand to introduce the book.
The program runs from 2:00-3:00 pm at the Gallery in Beacon (199 Main Street, map). Please contact Wendy Maragh Taylor with any questions.
