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 <EM>Independent Dames</EM>, won the O’Dell
Historical Fiction award for <EM>Chains</EM>, 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.</DIV>
<H4>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.</H4>
