But they all made a significant contribution to the cultural and intellectual history of America and ultimately changed the course of the twentieth century.Mixing biography, literary criticism, and cultural history, Sharp is the exhilarating story of ten brilliant women who used the power of their pens to carve out space for themselves in a world where men wrote the rules. It serves as an engaging introduction to their works, and a testament to how anyone who feels powerless can claim the mantle of writer, and, perhaps, change the world.Richard Fox will lead the discussion during National Friends of the Library week in October.Join us for a discussion of shared intellectual and cultural history - and enjoy lunch with Friends of the Library.Registration link: https://forms.office.com/r/y56a5FxfF6...
