I will be posting a video of my presentation a few days after the symposium, in case you cannot attend.
Book Update
Finally, an update on my book: I am in the middle of compiling my research for the rest of the chapters. As I have been doing this, I have realized that the book needs to take a different direction. I am excited at the prospect because of how Lizzie’s story will be shared. Let me assure you, it will not be a dry, chronological rendering!
Keep up with the progress
of the first-ever biography
on Lizzie Alcott.
