Karen Heffner, Art, will be facilitating a ZOOM interview with the author of Expect Great Things on Wednesday, March 24 at 7pm. It’s an interesting history not only of the school, which trained and encouraged women to be more than secretaries through two world wars and the madmen era. It is also a look at the history of women in the work place and their efforts to obtain financial independence and be recognized for they they bring to the table.

Contact the Perrot Library for the link.
