Join us at 6pm on Monday, August 22nd for a virtual conversation with C.J. Carey, author of the dystopian novel "Widowland," which was selected as the book of the month by The Times upon its publication in the UK. Called a "compulsive, terrifying read" by New York Times bestselling author Kate Quinn, the novel imagines an alternate history in which the Nazis won WWII and established a hierarchical classification designed to control women. Following protagonist Rose Ransom, a woman paid by the regime to rewrite English classics so as to squash any subversive influence, the book explores the dangers of ideological oppression and the fragility of freedom. Perfect for fans of "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Man in the High Castle"! Register within.

In 1940, Dr. Kenneth Clark and his wife Mamie worked in schoolrooms, asking more than 250 Black children whether they preferred white or brown baby dolls. The ensuing psychology study became what is now known as the "doll test"—the experiment which revealed that two-thirds of the children preferred a white doll to a doll of their own race. Word of the doll test brought the Clarks and their insights to New York's City Hall, the White House, and the U.S. Supreme Court, where they ended up playing an historic role in the Brown v. Board of Education ruling. "What the Children Told Us" is author Tim Spofford's in-depth new biography of these pioneering Black psychologists, whose work still resonates today. Join us to meet the author on Tuesday, August 23rd, via Crowdcast!
