Hear About Influential Women in History at Sugar Land Branch Library Program

---

Fort Bend County Libraries’ Sugar Land Branch Library will present a special program, “HERstory in HIStory: A Chat About Remarkable Women and Their Stories,” on Saturday, May 11th, from 2 to 4 pm, in the Meeting Room of the library, located at 550 Eldridge.

Women throughout history have played significant – and sometimes unheralded – roles in shaping the worlds around them. Now, more than ever, the stories of these remarkable women are being told on the big and small screens, in print and online.

In this retrospective look at women who have made a difference, local authors Ca-roline Leech and Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail will talk about the fun, fearless, and frank women of past generations who have inspired their books, blogs and lives.

Leech is a Scottish writer who pens Young Adult novels for teens. She serves on the advisory board of Inprint, a literary nonprofit organization in Houston. Metcalfe-Chenail is a Canadian-born writer who specializes in telling hidden histories, including those of female ferry pilots in World War II, bush pilots, and balloonatics.

The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Sugar Land Branch Library at 281-633-4734 or the library system’s Communications Office at 281-633-4734.
