Join Newton at Home on Tuesday, October 7 from 5:30-7:30PM at the Scandinavian Living Center, Nordic Hall (206 Waltham Street) for the book launch of Women of Courage and Conviction by Newton writer Dorothy Anger, along with four of the book’s women — also Newton residents — as they share stories of their extraordinary lives.
These women’s experiences span continents and eras: One walked from Newton to Washington DC in a “Walk for Peace”; another grew up in Argentina during the Perón regime; two survived their childhoods as Jews under the Nazi regime; and the fifth became a global leader in women’s reproductive health and health systems management. Come hear about the journeys of these courageous women, their resilience and achievements, and honor the power of storytelling to connect us across generations.
RSVP to: 617.795.2560 or [email protected]
This event is free and open to the public with limited seating. Donations are welcomed.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
