Dear Villagers,
We hope you enjoy the offerings for our final week specifically honoring women and their contributions. We've tried to suggest a good variety in these selections.
- Anne Morgan's War: This documentary recounts Anne Morgan's remarkable efforts to rebuild France's Picardy region after its destruction in World War I. Ann McCrea, who suggested this topic, will introduce it for discussion at the April 5 Chat Room session. Please join us!
- Do you remember Greer Garson, who won a 1942 Oscar for playing Mrs. Miniver? Do you know what she did when she left Hollywood? Learn about her fascinating life with her rancher husband.
- And our member book suggestions include:
- Maya Angelou's I know Why the Caged Bird Sings
- Three by Alice Walker: The Color Purple, The Temple of my Familiar, and Possessing The Secret of Joy
Reminders:
