FTF Amelia Bloomer Project Breakfast
Hilton, Room: Boulevard C
Sunday, July 12 at 8:00am - 10:00am 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 SRRT/Feminist Task Force/Amelia 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.  

The Amelia Bloomer Breakfast will be held during ALA Annual in Chicago on Sunday, July 12, starting at 8 a.m.  Tickets are $30 and include a continental breakfast, and information on purchasing tickets is available through the ALA registration website.
