We're pleased to announce that Amelia Bloomer Author and multiple award
winning author Laurie Halse Anderson will be joining the CWLU History
Project in speaking at the Amelia Bloomer Breakfast at ALA Annual!  This
year, Anderson made the Bloomer list for Independent Dames, won the
O'Dell Historical Fiction award for Chains, and is the Margaret A.
Edwards award for significant and lasting achievement and contribution
to young adult literature.  We're excited to have her speaking in
Chicago.

Joining Laurie will be speakers from the Chicago Women's Liberation
Union to talk about their Herstory project.  Between 1969-1977, the CWLU
touched the lives of many women in and around the Chicago area,
developing many programs from scratch to help women while still building
the foundation that feminists use to further their efforts.
