SUMMARY:Gifted Women Writers of the Gilded Age: A Women’s History Month Presentation with Elayne Clift\, M.A.
DESCRIPTION:“But I shouldn’t have thought anything in your life worth writing about”\n“The Artist’s most essential quality is masterly execution”\n“To write\, one must have a penetrative imagination” \nIs it any wonder that progressive women writers born in the Gilded Age\, which spanned the second half of the 19th century into the early 19th century\, began to look at the world through the lens of gender and put pen to paper? Beginning with an overview of the Gilded Age\, this Women’s History Month event explores women writers who pioneered a body of literature that provided insight into key issues that re-shaped America in critical ways. Their stories\, novels\, essays and social criticism continue to inspire women writers and readers as they offer models that lead to an equal\, fair\, and humane world. \nElayne Clift is an award-winning writer\, lecturer and workshop leader. Her work has appeared in various periodicals\, newspapers\, magazines\, and anthologies. She is a columnist for several New England newspapers and has published memoirs and poetry\, short stories\, and anthology collections. She has taught women’s studies\, literature and other humanities courses at several colleges and universities and currently facilitates reading\, writing and discussion groups with adult participants at continuing education programs.

SUMMARY:A/S/L Book Release - with author Jeanne Thornton along with local writer Imogen Binnie
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate award-winning author Jeanne Thornton and the release of her new novel\, A/S/L. She will be joined in conversation by local author Imogen Binnie (Nevada). There will be time for audience Q&A\, followed by a book signing. \nCopies of A/S/L will be available for purchase at this event from local bookseller Everyone’s Books. \n[ABOUT THE BOOK}\nA transformative story about video games\, three queer friends\, and the code(s) they learn to survive\, from the winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Trans Fiction. \n1998: Lilith\, Sash\, and Abraxa are teenagers\, scattered across the country but joined by the Internet as they create Saga of the Sorceress\, a video game that will change everything\, if only for the three of them. \nEighteen years later\, Saga of the Sorceress still exists only on the scattered drives of its creators. Lilith works as a loan underwriter at a rinky-dink bank in Manhattan\, a trans woman in a very cis world. Sash is in Brooklyn\, working as a part-time webcam dominatrix. Neither knows that the other is in New York\, or that Abraxa is just across the Hudson River\, sleeping on the floor of a friend’s Jersey City home after a disaster at sea. They have never met in person and have been out of touch for years\, but none have forgotten the sorceress or her unfinished quest. \nWeaving together the technologies of two decades\, and a healthy dose of magic\, A/S/L is a novel that queers our notions of nostalgia\, friendship\, and even the possibilities of fiction itself\, confirming Jeanne Thornton as one of our best and most ambitious novelists. \n[ABOUT THE SPEAKERS]\nJeanne Thornton is the author of Summer Fun\, winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction and finalist for the Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBTQ Fiction\, as well as The Black Emerald and The Dream of Doctor Bantam. Her fiction has appeared in n+1\, WIRED\, Evergreen Review\, and other places. She is an editor at Feminist Press\, as well as copublisher of Instar Books and coeditor of the Ignatz Award–winning We’re Still Here: An All-Trans Comics Anthology. She lives in Brooklyn\, and more information is available at jeannethornton.com. \nImogen Binnie is the author of the novel Nevada\, which won the Betty Berzon Emerging Writer Award\, was a finalist for the 2014 Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction\, named one of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels\, and praised in The New Yorker\, Los Angeles Times\, Vogue\, Buzzfeed\, Harper’s Bazaar\, The Nation\, and more. A writer for several television shows and a former columnist for Maximum Rocknroll\, she lives in Vermont with her family.
