About this Event
Celebrating the launch of Expect Great Things! by Vanda Krefft who will be joined in-conversation by Dinah Lenney.
About the book:
A fun and fascinating social history of the famed Katharine Gibbs School, which from the 1910s to the 1960s, trained women for executive secretary positions but surreptitiously was instilling the self-confidence and strategic know-how necessary for them to claim equality, power, and authority in the wider world.
About the author:
Vanda Krefft has written about women’s issues and popular culture for leading national magazines, including Elle, Redbook, Woman’s Day, and Woman’s World, as well as newspapers worldwide through syndication. She is the author of The Man Who Made the Movies, the first in-depth biography of Twentieth Century Fox founder William Fox.
About the moderator:
Dinah Lenney has played countless roles on stage and television, among them Murphy Brown’s Secretary Number Three, Eileen/Abraham on The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a nun with a gun on Sons of Anarchy, ER’s no-nonsense Nurse Shirley, Shakespeare’s Queen Gertrude (in Hamlet), and also his Lady Macbeth (of course).
