The Library of Congress will celebrate Women's History Month in March with Emmy Award-winning journalist Norah O'Donnell who will discuss her new book, "We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America," during Live! At the Library.
Having done research for her book at the Library of Congress, O’Donnell returns to share her discoveries and insights. She includes the stories of such women as the Forten family women, considered the “Black Founders” of Philadelphia, and the first women to serve in the armed forces even before suffrage had passed. O’Donnell will be in conversation on March 5 with CNN's Dana Bash.
Also on March 5, former three-time U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky returns to the Library to discuss his poetry and criticism with book critic Ron Charles. The conversation promises sharp insights from two of America's leading literary voices.
