7pm, March 31, Thomas Ford Library: The Wicked, Wild and Wonderful Women of the Windy City

Hell Hath No Fury: The Wicked, Wild and Wonderful Women of the Windy City: The "City of Big Shoulders" is loaded with history, but what about "her-story?" From the legendary giants like Jane Addams and Ida B. Wells to contemporary figures like Sandra Cisneros and Ursula Bielski, Chicago's women have stood tall and walked proud, as they should. In this Kennedy History Lecture, local entertainer/historian/storyteller Clarence Goodman will show us how these people not only contributed mightily to our story, but to the overall American experience. 7:00-8:30 p.m., Thursday, March 3.1Thomas Ford Memorial Library, 800 Chestnut St., Western Springs, IL 60558 (708) 246-0520 fordlibrary.org/events
