Alliance – The Alliance Public Library will be honoring Women’s History Month by hosting a program by Deb Carpenter-Nolting and Lyn Messersmith titled, “Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History”. The program is scheduled for Friday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the Alliance Public Library Community Room.
This free program will focus on stories, songs, and poems about women who left footprints on history by stepping out of place. The "not-so-well-behaved" women Deb and Lyn will be featuring are Annie Oakley, Tad Lucas, Ann Eliza Young, and Mari Sandoz.
This presentation is made possible by Humanities Nebraska, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and the Alliance Public Library as part of the HN Speakers Bureau.
