SUMMARY:Brooke Kroeger reads from her new book The Suffragents
DESCRIPTION:The Suffragents is the untold story of how some of New York’s most powerful men formed the Men’s League for Woman Suffrage\, which grew between 1909 and 1917 from 150 founding members into a force of thousands across thirty-five states. Brooke Kroeger explores the formation of the League and the men who instigated it to involve themselves with the suffrage campaign\, what they did at the behest of the movement’s female leadership\, and why. She details the National American Woman Suffrage Association’s strategic decision to accept their organized help and then to deploy these influential new allies as suffrage foot soldiers\, a role they accepted with uncommon grace. Led by such luminaries as Oswald Garrison Villard\, John Dewey\, Max Eastman\, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise\, and George Foster Peabody\, members of the League worked the streets\, the stage\, the press\, and the legislative and executive branches of government. In the process\, they helped convince waffling politicians\, a dismissive public\, and a largely hostile press to support the women’s demand. Together\, they swayed the course of history.

SUMMARY:Cherise Wolas reads from her debut The Resurrection of Joan Ashby
DESCRIPTION:I viewed the consumptive nature of love as a threat to serious women. But the wonderful man I just married believes as I do—work is paramount\, absolutely no children—and now love seems to me quite marvelous. \nThese words are spoken to a rapturous audience by Joan Ashby\, a brilliant and intense literary sensation acclaimed for her explosively dark and singular stories. \nWhen Joan finds herself unexpectedly pregnant\, she is stunned by Martin’s delight\, his instant betrayal of their pact. She makes a fateful\, selfless decision then\, to embrace her unintentional family. Challenged by raising two precocious sons\, it is decades before she finally completes her masterpiece novel. Poised to reclaim the spotlight\, to resume the intended life she gave up for love\, a betrayal of Shakespearean proportion forces her to question every choice she has made. \nEpic\, propulsive\, incredibly ambitious\, and dazzlingly written\, The Resurrection of Joan Ashby is a story about sacrifice and motherhood\, the burdens of expectation and genius. Cherise Wolas’s gorgeous debut introduces an indelible heroine candid about her struggles and unapologetic in her ambition.

SUMMARY:Lily Tuck in conversation with the editor of her new novel Sisters
DESCRIPTION:Lily Tuck’s critically lauded\, bestselling I Married You for Happiness was hailed by the Boston Globe as “an artfully crafted still life of one couple’s marriage.” In her singular new novel Sisters\, Tuck gives a very different portrait of marital life\, exposing the intricacies and scandals of a new marriage sprung from betrayal. Tuck’s unnamed narrator lives with her new husband\, his two teenagers\, and the unbanishable presence of his first wife—known only as she. Obsessed with her\, our narrator moves through her days presided over by the all-too-real ghost of the first marriage\, fantasizing about how the first wife lives her life. Will the narrator ever equal she intellectually\, or ever forget the betrayal that lies between them? And what of the secrets between her husband and she\, from which the narrator is excluded? The daring and precise buildup to an eerily wonderful conclusion is a triumph of subtlety and surprise. \n  \nLily Tuck will be in conversation with her editor\, Elisabeth Schmitz
