Thursday, March 24, 2016 Noon- 1 pm Elizabeth Public Library Library Auditorium 11 S. Broad Street, Elizabeth, NJ 07202 908-354-6060 http://www.elizpl.org Joanne Hamilton Rajoppi will present the topic of her latest book, New Jersey Women After the Civil War: The Wives and Daughters of the Brunswick Boys. As a stand-alone book (and as a sequel to New Jersey in the Civil War: The Brunswick Boys and the Great Rebellion), this is the story of New Jerseyan Mary Ann Hamilton, matriarch of the family who, like many women of the era, faced the challenges of a disabled veteran husband, the death of a son in the war, and the care of two young girls with little or no income. This program is free and open to the public. Coffee, tea and desserts will be served. Sunday, March 20, 2016 1:30 pm Elmora Branch Library 740 W. Grand Street, Elizabeth, NJ 07202 Light Refreshments will be served. Free & secure parking Most people, when asked to name early female aviators, recall Amelia Earhart. But long before Earhart s famous exploits, female flyers had already proven that aviatrixes were every bit as brave and daring as their male counterparts. Flying in flimsy wood and canvas aero planes, Aida de Acosta, Raymonde de Laroche, Hélène Dutrieu, Marie Marvingt, Harriet Quimby, Katherine Stinson, Ruth Law, Bessie Coleman and Elinor Smith awed and thrilled people on the ground executing audacious acrobatic aerial maneuvers, soloing across the English channel, setting records, barnstorming and buzzing beneath New York s bridges. Undaunted by male skepticism, they were determined to show that anything that men could do, they could do too! Inexplicably, these women s astonishing accomplishments have been largely for-gotten. Carol Simon Levin brings their colorful stories to life through her in-character presentation. The Elmora Branch of the Elizabeth Public Library is proud to present: Dr. Virginia Cornue and Ms. Linda Lombri, Authors of The Sandra Troux Mysteries: Sunday, March 6 (1:30 pm) Dr. Virginia Cornue and Linda Lombri co-author the detective series The Sandra Troux Mysteries (www.sandratrouxmysteries.com) under the pen name Crystal Sharpe. Dr. Virginia Cornue, Ph.D., is an author, award-winning women s rights activist, cultural anthropologist, and part-time college professor. She is involved with various philanthropic and advocacy organizations. Ms. Linda Lombri is a marketing communications consultant, freelance writer/editor, author, interior book designer and home economist. She heads the communications firm, Lombri Writes. Join us as the authors will have copies of their books on hand and light refreshments will be served. Please register at the Elmora branch, call 908-353-4820, or email branch manager Robert Barbanell at rbarbanell@elizpl.org. Thursday, March 10, 2016 12:00 pm Library 4th Fl. Auditorium Light Refreshments will be served. Free & secure parking During World War II, more than one thousand women volunteers completed the WASP military pilot training program. They endured terrible Texas weather, snakes, spiders and scorpions, as well as the hostility of some male instructors. Graduating WASPs piloted every kind of military aircraft, tested new and overhauled airplanes (some with defective parts or dangerous reputations), delivered more than 12,000 planes, and flew over 60,000,000 miles (sometimes towing targets that soldiers shot at with live ammunition!) Thirty-eight of them died serving their country. Then they were told that men needed their jobs and they were dismissed and forgotten. Carol Simon Levin tells the story of the amazing WASPs through the eyes of Ann Baumgartner Carl, the Jersey girl who trained as a WASP, became the only American woman to test-fly experimental planes during the war, and the first American woman to fly a jet airplane!
