SUMMARY:Speaking While Female: 75 Extraordinary Speeches
DESCRIPTION:Nationally recognized journalist\, speechwriter and speaker Dan
 a Rubin shares the long-overlooked history of female orators in America at
  7:30 p.m. Thursday\, April 27\, at the Allen Public Library. Admission to
  the program is free\, and it will be web-cast live at   https://actv.org/
     by clicking on the WATCH button.  \nThis is the first anthology to mak
 e the argument that women’s voices have been crucial to the founding and d
 evelopment of the nation\, and that without them we can’t understand the h
 istory of our country. Rubin’s book provides cogent evidence that women ha
 ve changed the world with their ideas and their public voices\, even thoug
 h the history books have obscured this.  From the American colonial period
  to the present\, our nation was fundamentally shaped by the ideas of wome
 n\, primarily expressed through the spoken word.  Speeches by American wom
 en shaping the national debates and defining American values are presented
  in this concise anthology. \n“This is a vital book\,” notes   Jon Meacham
 \, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning  American Lion: Andrew Jackson in
  the White House.  “By identifying and elevating the voices of women acros
 s the ages\, Dana Rubin has successfully led all of us to examine our assu
 mptions and to listen with new ears and open minds. Carefully curated\, de
 ftly edited\, and brilliantly brought together\, this is a collection that
  will not be silenced\, but heard.” \nBillie Jean King\, winner of 39 Gran
 d Slam titles and an activist for gender equality declares\,  “The legacy
  of women’s speech in America is strong\, showing us the importance of cel
 ebrating our history with future generations.” \nFocusing on expanding div
 erse female voices and viewpoints in the public discourse\, Dana Rubin has
  appeared on C-Span and TEDx Talks. The Rockefeller Foundation and New Yor
 k City Police Department are among her clients.    \nThe library is locate
