White Plains Public Library: Author Visit With Anita Hill

Press release from the White Plains Public Library:

October 6, 2021

Please join us for a virtual author visit with Anita Hill on Monday, November 1, 7:00–8:00 p.m. She’ll discuss her new book, Believing: Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence, a combination of memoir, personal accounts, law, and social analysis. Anita Hill is University Professor of Social Policy, Law, and Women’s and Gender Studies at Brandeis University. After the 1991 Senate confirmation hearings for U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, Hill became a leading figure in the fight for women’s rights and against gender-based violence.

Believing is a story of America's three decades long reckoning with gender violence, one that offers insights into its roots, and paths to creating dialogue and substantive change. It is a call to action that offers guidance based on what this brave, committed fighter has learned from a lifetime of advocacy and her search for solutions to a problem that is still tearing America apart.

Thanks to support from a Foundation donor, we have a number of copies of Believing available to share with the community. If you'd like a copy, stop by the Library (on/after October 8) and ask for one from a staff member at the circulation desk in the lobby. While supplies last. One per household, please.
