Join @pbsbooks on Wednesday for a virtual event: Join @pbsbooks on Wednesday for a virtual event: Trailblazing Women Virtual Series Wednesday evening, July 29, 2020 at 5PM PT, PBS Books will host a virtual engagement event that will feature an Author Interview with Scholar @marthasjones , Ph.D., to discuss her soon-to-be-released book: "Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All" and a Panel Discussion with New York Times best-selling Novelist Tayari Jones and Pulitzer Prize finalist Poet Evie Shockley, Ph.D. This event is part of an ongoing Trailblazing Women Virtual Series, which highlights amazing stories of American women, that was developed and launched by PBS Books to complement the programming launched by PBS to mark the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. By highlighting “Trailblazers,” PBS Books commemorates the fight for women’s suffrage in the US and the stories of modern women, who continue to shatter the glass ceiling and transform modern history. All three women— Martha Jones, Ph.D., Tayari Jones, and Evie Shockley—in our upcoming conversation are trailblazers themselves, and PBS Books is honored to host a conversation to showcase their work and ideas.
