Harry Bennett Branch Local Author Series: Alice Look

Alice Look will discuss her book, Remarkable Women: Reclaiming Their Stories, a collection of profiles of 23 women. It was published by the Remarkable Women Project, a nonprofit dedicated to celebrating the stories of women throughout history who have taken breathtaking risks, and overcome tremendous societal, gender and racial barriers to make their indelible mark on society and culture, with impacts that still reverberate today.

Leslie Grossman, an executive coach, author, sought-after speaker and former serial entrepreneur, will moderate the conversation.
