She Persisted: Women of Letters and the American South at The Gibbes Museum

The Gibbes Museum is hosting a wonderful literary program our discussion group members might enjoy, especially those looking forward to our May discussions of Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee by Casey Cep!

She Persisted: Women of Letters and the American South is a conversation inspired by the exhibition Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection. Professor and Director of Southern Studies at the College of Charleston, Julia Eichelberger; recipient of the National Book Award for Poetry, Nikky Finney; and author of the Charleston-based novel The Cigar Factory, Michele Moore will discuss the literary traditions and social landscape that gave rise to voices like Eudora Welty, Zora Neale Hurston, and Harper Lee, and that continue to inspire women writers across the South. Wednesday, February 19, at 6:00 p.m. at The Gibbes.
