Hear about "The Quotable Amelia Earhart" Tuesday, Sept. 15 @ 7pm
The Friends of the Dover Public Library will host Dover
resident Michele Wehrwein Albion, editor of the new book, “The Quotable Amelia
Earhart”, on Tuesday, September 15 at 7pm. This is Michele’s
fifth book and the Friends are delighted to have the book’s Launch Party at the
library on its first day of publication!
A fearless pioneer and a record-breaking
pilot, Amelia Earhart engaged the nation and the world when she became the
first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Today, people remember her most
for her disappearance on the last leg of her round-the-world flight in 1937.
But more than a record breaker or a ghost lost over the Pacific, Earhart was
ambitious, driven, and strong at a time when all three of these traits were
considered unfeminine. Earhart’s words and her example encouraged women to step
beyond the narrow confines of their traditional roles.
“The Quotable Amelia Earhart” brings
together statements from a variety of sources and covers a wide range of
topics, including Earhart’s flights and her opinions on politics, work,
religion, and gender equality. This definitive resource provides a concise,
documented collection of Earhart’s quotations so that her words, as well as her
achievements, may inspire a new generation. In
addition, library patrons will have the opportunity to sample cookies made from
Earhart's own recipe.
Michele Wehrwein Albion grew up in Maine with a great respect for
the past. She has degrees from the
University of Maine and George Washington University. Before becoming a writer,
Albion worked at the Fort Western Museum, The Maine State Museum, The U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum and The Edison and Ford Winter Estates. She is the author of “The Florida Life of Thomas Edison” and editor of “The Quotable Edison”, “The Quotable Henry Ford”, and “The Quotable
Eleanor Roosevelt”. Signed copies of “The Quotable Amelia Earhart” will be
available for purchase. This program is free
and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Dover
Public Library at 603-516-6050.
