Women’s History Month Presentation

Matilda Butler, co-author of Rosie’s Daughters: The “First Woman To” Generation Tells Its Story, will use music and photos from 1940-2005 as a historical backdrop for her presentation “The Tipping Point in American Women’s History.”  Butler will share stories and insights from the 100 women she interviewed for her collective memoir of women born during World War II.

Rosie’s Daughters draws on Butler’s 35 years of research training and work experiences. She is an author, life writing coach, social psychologist, and entrepreneur. Like the women in Rosie’s Daughters, Butler is a member of the “First Woman To” Generation and also had to find her way in a world turned upside down by the social, cultural and historic changes of the last 40+ years. Butler has published more than fifty articles about women, contributed chapters to published books about women in education and work, co-authored the award-winning book Women and the Mass Media, and co-edited the book Knowledge Utilization Systems.

Books will be available to purchase, and time will be allowed for signing. Each book purchased at this event benefits Gilroy AAUW. Buy one for yourself and another as a gift. If you already have a copy bring it for Matilda to sign.
