Susan Ware, Biographer, In discussion with Claire Potter, The New School
This event is hybrid.
The MHS celebrates the publication of New England Biography Series founder Susan Ware’s latest book. Speaking Louder Than I Can delivers inspiring portraits of path-breaking American women along with Ware’s reflections on the origins and lasting power of feminist biography. Ware’s previous books include biographies of Billie Jean King, Amelia Earhart, and Molly Dewson, as well as a group biography of American suffragists, Why They Marched. Historian Claire Potter, author of the widely acclaimed substack Political Junkie and a forthcoming biography of Susan Brownmiller, joins Ware in a far-ranging conversation about women in history, women’s history, and why, as Ware writes, “all biography should be feminist biography.”
Join the conversation at the New England Biography Series.
