SUMMARY:Ellen Carol DuBois (Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP for this event at BankSquareBooks.com/events\nBank Square Books and the Mystic and Noank Library present an author talk and signing with Ellen Carol DuBois for her book Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life. Ellen will be in conversation with Lisa Wilson. \nAbout the Book\nElizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader\, thinker\, and organizer whose fight for women’s emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902\, a full fifth of America’s history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography\, eminent historian Ellen Carol DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible.\nBorn in 1815 into a family deeply marked by the tumult of the American Revolution and surging evangelicalism\, Stanton was captivated by Enlightenment ideas about individual freedom and transformed by early experiences in what she called “the school of antislavery.” Though most remembered for her fight for the vote\, she was also an early crusader for women’s reproductive autonomy and reforming the institution of marriage\, and against Christianity’s subordination of women. Her rifts with Black reformers and embrace of nativist ideas tarnished her reputation\, but her words still have the ability to move and agitate people today.\nBuilding upon exhaustive archival research and a deep engagement with Stanton’s copious writings\, Elizabeth Cady Stanton brilliantly captures a crucial reformer in all of her intelligence\, moral ambiguity\, and power. \nAbout the Author\nEllen Carol DuBois is distinguished professor of history at UCLA. Her pioneering works on the US woman suffrage movement include Feminism and Suffrage: The Emergence of an Independent Women’s Movement in America\, 1848–1869\, Harriot Stanton Blatch and the Winning of Woman Suffrage\, and Suffrage: Women’s Long Battle for the Vote. She lives in Los Angeles. \nAbout Lisa Wilson\nLisa Wilson focuses her present research on North America and the Caribbean. She has recently begun a project comparing the experiences of seventeenth-century women in Barbados\, Bermuda\, Virginia and New England. She has published on topics such as widowhood\, manhood\, and stepfamilies in Early America.

SUMMARY:Laura Jackson (The Busy Beast) Storytime and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Laura Jackson reads from her book\, The Busy Beast at our storytime event! \nAbout the Book\nWhen the Busy Beast arrives one day\, “musts” and “have-to’s” push out play. The grown-ups think the Beast has won\, but the children know what must be done… This is a story about the importance of a slow childhood and a reminder that we all have the power to say “NO”. \nThe Busy Beast is a disagreeable monster who comes to town and fills everyone’s schedules to the brim. But his tenure ends when the children push back and demand more time for play. With rhyming verse and compelling illustrations\, the book invites families to start a conversation about busyness and\, perhaps\, to slow down a bit. \nAbout the Author\nLaura Jackson is a writer and educator who is passionate about student-centered learning and alternative education. She lives on the Connecticut shoreline with her husband and two young children and enjoys all things DIY. \nMore Details

SUMMARY:Eoghan Walls (Field Notes from an Extinction) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Eoghan Walls for his book\, Field Notes From an Extinction. \nAbout the Book\nFast-paced and funny. Scientific and tender. A literary thriller featuring Auks. As if Hilary Mantel’s The Giant\, O’Brien met Robinson Crusoe\, here is a story of one man’s growing humanity amidst famine and extinction. \nTold in the vernacular of the day\, this novel-as-notebook features a 19th-century ornithologist on a remote Irish island—from the author of indie favorite The Gospel of Orla. \nWritten in the form of a 19th-century notebook of ornithological observations\, Field Notes from an Extinction follows the life and work of one Ignatius Green\, a fictitious English scientist dispatched by the Royal Society to the remote island of Tor Mor off the northern Irish coast. Green\, a widower\, is single-minded and self-righteous\, brilliant and bumbling. He is determined to set the scientific record straight on the mating rituals\, feeding and care of hatchlings and other minutiae he can gather about the Great Auk (pinguinus impennis). \nGreen’s world is shattered when his monthly goods delivery arrives ravaged by the local Irish townsmen. His fury at their impertinence is matched only by his dismay at finding a small child amid the shipment–dirty\, abandoned\, mute\, and utterly feral and unmanageable. Worse\, the locals are growing restless and hungry. And there is talk sweeping the land of a terrifying woman with unnatural power. \nGreen fights for his survival against brigands and hunger and\, most fearsome\, the resolve of a fierce and angry child. And\, perhaps\, for a wider understanding of family amidst roiling societal unrest. \nAbout the Author\nEoghan Walls is a Northern Irish poet. He has lived and worked in Ireland\, Britain\, Germany and Rwanda. He won an Eric Gregory Award in 2006\, and his poetry has been shortlisted for multiple international awards\, including the Bridport Prize\, the Manchester Poetry Prize and the Piggott Prize. He has published the first major translation of Heidegger’s poetical works and currently teaches Creative Writing at Lancaster University. The Gospel of Orla (Seven Stories Press; 2023)\, his debut novel\, was an IndieNext and a Library Reads selection\, and was called “utterly convincing and fresh and original” by Colm Tóibín. His new novel is Field Notes from an Extinction. \nMore Details
