Description
The next meeting of the League of Women Voters and Beagle Books Current Event's Book Club will be Sunday July 20... at 4:15 pm in Beagle Books.
During the summer we are going to take a break from nonfiction books.. We picked a good one for us to read: Unmentionables by Laurie Loewenstein.
"Big issues are examined through the lens of a small town after a campaigner for less restrictive undergarments visits Caledonia, Ill., in 1917. Women’s liberation, public health standards, even modern art are some of the new ideas entering the conversation, while racism and miscegenation, patronage and prejudice also play their parts in the story. The catalyst for change is anti-corsetry campaigner Marian Elliot Adams, who arrives in town for the Chautauqua convinced that the adoption of her ideas will bring positive results."
