SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Alex Kershaw
DESCRIPTION:Join the Charleston Library Society as we host best-selling author and journalist\, Alex Kershaw\, as he speaks on his most recent book\, Against All Odds: A True Story of Ultimate Courage and Survival in World War II. \nThis event has been made possible through the generosity of Friends of the National World War II Memorial. \nTickets for this event are $10 for CLS members and $15 for guests. To purchase tickets\, call 843-723-9912 or click here. \nAbout the Book:\nThe untold story of four of the most decorated soldiers of World War II—all Medal of Honor recipients—from the beaches of French Morocco to Hitler’s own mountaintop fortress\, by the national bestselling author of The First Wave \n“Pitch-perfect.”—The Wall Street Journal • “Riveting.”—World War II magazine • “Alex Kershaw is the master of putting the reader in the heat of the action.”—Martin Dugard \nAs the Allies raced to defeat Hitler\, four men\, all in the same unit\, earned medal after medal for battlefield heroism. Maurice “Footsie” Britt\, a former professional football player\, became the very first American to receive every award for valor in a single war. Michael Daly was a West Point dropout who risked his neck over and over to keep his men alive. Keith Ware would one day become the first and only draftee in history to attain the rank of general before serving in Vietnam. In WWII\, Ware owed his life to the finest soldier he ever commanded\, a baby-faced Texan named Audie Murphy. In the campaign to liberate Europe\, each would gain the ultimate accolade\, the Congressional Medal of Honor. \nTapping into personal interviews and a wealth of primary source material\, Alex Kershaw has delivered his most gripping account yet of American courage\, spanning more than six hundred days of increasingly merciless combat\, from the deserts of North Africa to the dark heart of Nazi Germany. Once the guns fell silent\, these four exceptional warriors would discover just how heavy the Medal of Honor could be—and how great the expectations associated with it. Having survived against all odds\, who among them would finally find peace? \nAbout the Author:\nAlex Kershaw is the widely-acclaimed\, prize-winning\, New York Times best-selling author of eleven books\, including The Longest Winter\, The Bedford Boys\, The First Wave and The Liberator. He has been a journalist for over thirty years\, is a popular public speaker\, and designs/leads history tours around the world. He is also a board director of the Friends of The National WWII Memorial and chairs the Colby Award selection committee. His book\, Blood and Champagne\, is currently being adapted into a tv series. His 2012 book\, The Liberator\, is now a four part series on Netflix. His books have been translated into over a dozen languages.

SUMMARY:Lite Lunch: The XX Edge with Patience Marime-Ball\, Ruth Shaber\, and Kate Nevin
DESCRIPTION:Charleston Library Society returns on its investments with a Lite Lunch with Patience Marime-Ball\, Ruth Shaber\, M.D.\, and Kate Nevin as they discuss Marime-Ball and Shaber’s book\, The XX Edge: Unlocking Higher Returns and Lower Risk. \nThere’s a simple but often overlooked investment strategy to earning higher returns—include women as financial decision-makers within your organization or team. These three influential women will sit down and discuss the importance of the female presence when it comes to the investment world and market. \nTickets for this lunch time lecture are $25 for members and $35 for guests. All tickets include a boxed-lunch. \nAbout the Book:\nIn The XX Edge\, Patience Marime-Ball and Ruth Shaber envision a new paradigm of gender-focused investing where more women are placed in decision-making roles and able to optimize their skills across all capital markets—leading to higher returns for individual investors and greater economic growth. \nThere’s a simple but often overlooked investment strategy to earning higher returns—include women as financial decision-makers within your organization or team. That’s The XX Edge. \nSeasoned executives and investors Patience Marime-Ball and Ruth Shaber demonstrate the new paradigm where women are at the center of investing as agents and actors—not just as beneficiaries. \nIf you manage investments—either your own or others’—you’ll want to understand the data and discover the financial power of The XX Edge: \n\nGender-inclusive teams are 21% more likely to see outperformance in profitability relative to peers\n\n\nFemale CFOs deliver a 6% increase in profits and an 8% stock performance bump compared to overall performance under male predecessors\n\n\nNew companies with a female founder performed 63% better than those with all-male teams over an observed ten-year period\n\n\nWomen-run hedge funds outperformed the average of larger hedge funds by a margin of 6% over a six-and-a-half-year period\n\nYou’ll discover the inherent gender differences between women and men and why these differences make women excellent financial decision makers and investment collaborators. Patience and Ruth unpack the evidence that proves this point across all asset classes. \nThe XX Edge shows that when women make financial decisions and apply their skills across all capital markets\, it leads to higher returns for individual investors and greater economic growth—a true win-win for all. \nAbout the Authors:\nPatience Marime-Ball has more than two decades of investment experience across capital markets\, including debt and equity financing\, large scale infrastructure\, distressed assets\, as well as venture stage opportunities. Previously\, Patience was Principal Investment Officer and Global Head of Banking on Women at the International Finance Corporation (IFC) where she developed the Banking on Women business; Patience co-developed the first-ever gender bond issued on the Uridashi market. She is the founder and CEO of Women of the World Endowment\, an investment nonprofit focused on centralizing women as economic\, environmental\, and social changemakers while delivering market-rate\, risk adjusted returns and impact at scale. \nPatience holds a JD from the Pritzker School of Law and an MBA from Kellogg at Northwestern University. \nRuth Shaber\, MD is the founder and president of the Tara Health Foundation\, which promotes health\, well-being\, and opportunity for women and girls through innovative evidence-informed programs. She is also the co-founder and board chair of Rhia Ventures\, a group of foundations and investors that collaborate to bring new types of capital and enterprise to the field of reproductive health in the United States. Ruth had a robust career as an Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Kaiser Permanente from 1990 to 2012. \nRuth was featured in Forbes 2020 Impact 50: Investors Seeking Profit—and Pushing for Change for her contributions to the field of impact investing. Ruth holds an MD from the University of Pennsylvania and a BA from Yale University. \n  \n\n\n\n\nAbout Kate Nevin:\nKate is a seasoned Portfolio Manager\, engaged community advocate and optimistic mother of three.  At the intersection of those titles is a deep sense of awareness\, purpose and the recognition that when we are living in alignment with our values\, our actions have the potential for exponential impact.  Kate is focused on innovating her slice of the financial industry with access to diverse talent and advocacy for gender parity.  Similarly\, Kate uses data and collaboration when advocating for environmental and societal issues.  But at the end of the day\, the family dinner table is the most important advocacy tool she has.

SUMMARY:Spring Symposium: The Future of Publishing with John Ingram
DESCRIPTION:CLS\, in partnership with Buxton Books\, is thrilled to announce an exclusive two-day Publishing Symposium featuring John Ingram. This lifelong learning program will dive deep into the past\, present\, and future of book publishing\, and offer a rare opportunity to engage with and learn from an industry icon whose family legacy is rivaled only by his own impressive vision for the future. \nIngram understands the past\, present\, and future of publishing as few people can. A media pioneer who not only anticipated the advent of on-demand printing\, but also created a set of innovative software and digital infrastructure solutions to support independent authors\, audiences\, and booksellers… (read more below) \nThere are two ticket options for this program: \nEVENING PROGRAM ONLY (Thursday\, March 2)  $30 // Admission to the discussion panel with John Ingram and Julian Buxton at 6pm. \nTWO-DAY SYMPOSIUM (Thursday\, March 2 & Friday\, March 3) – $130 // Admission to the discussion panel on Thursday March 2. \nPlus\, Admission to the extended session on Friday\, March 3\, from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm\, which will include group discussion\, analysis of the lecture topic\, and insights from additional publishing industry insiders — plus a boxed lunch. \nAbout the Event: \nThe Symposium begins Thursday evening with an up-close-and-personal discussion led by Julian Buxton. The co-founder of Buxton Books is not only a fellow publishing insider; he’s also a longtime friend of Ingram’s (they met as undergrads at Princeton)\, with a unique  perspective on the mechanics and motivations driving the industry today. (There’s also that Charleston connection\, courtesy of Ingram’s mother\, Martha Rivers Ingram\, who grew up here.) With such strong ties\, theirs is sure to be a candid and insightful exploration of Ingram’s career choices\, how those decisions fit into the shifting balance of new and old media\, and the lessons learned along the way. \nOn Friday\, we’ll tighten the circle a bit to continue the conversation with a more intimate group of attendees. Over the course of the morning\, we’ll examine the current state of publishing\, the supporting forces that comprise the publishing ecosystem today\, and the factors that will shape the next wave of innovation. \nWe’ll bust myths\, expose hidden truths\, and share on the ground insights from all corners of the publishing world—from editorial perspectives on the power of reviews and bestseller-list placements\, to the way that same data affects author tours and event destinations\, to the importance of independent bookstores and the experiential and distribution data they provide. \nAbout John Ingram: \nIngram understands the past\, present\, and future of publishing as few people can. A media pioneer who not only anticipated the advent of on-demand printing\, but also created a set of innovative software and digital infrastructure solutions to support independent authors\, audiences\, and booksellers\, Ingram built his family’s wholesale book distribution company into a revolutionary force that would ultimately transform the book publishing landscape. Labeled an “intrapreneur” for his ability to forge a unique identity through his family’s established empire—which\, in its impressive diversification\, offered many professional avenues beyond publishing—Ingram found his calling from within even as he brazenly blazed his own trail.

SUMMARY:Lite Lunch: Janice Nimura - The Doctors Blackwell
DESCRIPTION:The Charleston Library Society welcomes New York Times Bestseller and Pulitzer Prize Finalist to discuss her recent powerhouse biography\, The Doctors Blackwell: How Two Pioneering Sisters Brought Medicine to Women – And Women to Medicine. \nTickets for this Lite Lunch are $25 for members and $35 guest. All tickets include a boxed lunch. \nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \n“Deftly\, with a keen eye\, Janice P. Nimura has resurrected Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell in all their feisty\, thrilling\, trailblazing splendor.”―Stacy Schiff \nThe world recoiled at the notion of a woman doctor\, yet Elizabeth Blackwell persisted―in 1849\, she became the first woman in America to receive an MD. Her achievement made her an icon―“I am convinced that a new & nobler era is dawning\, for Medicine\,” she wrote―but her sister Emily\, eternally eclipsed\, was the more brilliant physician. Together they founded the first hospital staffed entirely by women\, in New York City. \nBoth sisters were tenacious and visionary\, but their convictions did not always align with the emergence of women’s rights―or with each other. “Doubt is disease\,” Elizabeth insisted. They prevailed against fierce resistance from the male establishment\, moving among Britain\, France\, and America during a tumultuous time of scientific discovery and civil war. This major new biography celebrates two complicated pioneers who exploded the limits of possibility. As Elizabeth predicted\, “a hundred years hence\, women will not be what they are now.” \n  \nREVIEWS \n“Enthralling…Nimura\, by digging into [the Blackwells’] deeds and their lives\, finds those discrepancies and idiosyncrasies that yield a memorable portrait. The Doctors Blackwell also opens up a sense of possibility — you don’t always have to mean well on all fronts in order to do a lot of good.” –Jennifer Szalai\, New York Times \n“[A] richly detailed and propulsive biography….Nimura doesn’t strain to fit the sisters into the narrow shape allowed to feminist pioneers\, as either virtuous role models or “badass” rebels against society. Instead\, they emerge as spiky\, complicated human beings\, who strove and stumbled toward an extraordinary achievement\, and then had to learn what to do with it.” –Joanna Scutts\, New York Times Book Review \n“The Doctors Blackwell is best on the fascinating and harrowing history of modern medicine….[Nimura] is a close and delightful observer of [the Blackwells’] world.” –The New Yorker \n“The Doctors Blackwell not only testifies to Elizabeth and Emily’s iron determination but also chronicles evolving medical practices. Nimura places the sisters within the broad intellectual context of their time\, creating an important and engaging history lesson.” –NPR \nABOUT JANICE: \nJanice P. Nimura received a Public Scholar Award from the National Endowment for the Humanities in support of her work on The Doctors Blackwell\, a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in biography. Her previous book\, Daughters of the Samurai: A Journey from East to West and Back\, was a New York Times Notable book in 2015. Her essays and book reviews have appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Los Angeles Times\, Smithsonian\, The Rumpus\, and LitHub\, among other publications. \n“The one thing I know I’ll never be is a historian\,” she told her college guidance counselor in 1988. She thought she wanted to be a doctor\, but life intervened: she majored in English at Yale\, worked in publishing\, moved to Japan with her Tokyo-born husband\, and completed an M.A. in East Asian studies at Columbia upon their return to her native New York. She grew into an understanding that history is made of stories and fell in love with archival treasure-hunting\, especially when it led to the forgotten lives of border-crossing nineteenth-century women. Her first book grew out of her personal interest in the earliest encounters between Japan and the United States. In her latest project she circles back to her first interest in medicine\, in the context of her work in women’s history.

SUMMARY:Charleston's Architectural Renaissance Man
DESCRIPTION:For six decades\, the renowned twentieth-century architect and preservationist Albert Simons helped shape the modern structural landscape of the Holy City. On March 14\, Ralph Muldrow—whose recent book on the visionary aesthete\, The Architectural Legacy of Albert Simons in the Holy City\, came out in October—will join us to share insights into Simons’ legendary life and career. \nSimons came of age during the vibrant years of the Charleston Renaissance. His influential social circle included artists\, musicians\, writers\, historians\, and preservationists\, many of whom supported the cultural revival that would transform the city. Through his architectural design and passion for preservation\, Simons helped to mold the cityscape and set a course that would both preserve the Holy City and carry it forward\, allowing it to become the thriving urban center it is today. \nSimons brought both a sense of history and place to his work bolstered by his deep roots in Charleston\, as well as a cosmopolitanism developed during his years of training at the University of Pennsylvania and travels on the European continent. The melding of those sensibilities was a perfect match for the age and made him a true Charleston Renaissance Man. While he preferred the more traditional Beaux-Arts\, Classical\, and Colonial Revival styles\, Simons had the unique ability to balance traditional and modern styles. He believed preservation in Charleston was about retaining the city’s architectural heritage\, but doing so in a way that allowed the city to grow and progress—to be a living city. Looking forward and simultaneously looking back is quintessentially Charleston and a hallmark of Simons’s life and work. \nFeaturing more than 100 color and black and white photographs and illustrations alongside compelling storytelling\, Muldrow’s fascinating book reveals these deep connections between Simons and the Charleston cityscape.    \nTickets are $10 for Library Society members and $15 for guests.\nTo purchase tickets\, please click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout Ralph Muldrow:\nHaving trained as an architect at the University of Virginia and at the University of Pennsylvania\, Simons’s alma mater\, Ralph Muldrow currently serves as an Associate Professor of Architecture and Historic Preservation at the College of Charleston\, where he teaches courses in design\, drawing\, preservation and architectural history. Muldrow also regularly teaches for the College in London\, Paris\, and Rome\, including lessons in sketching and watercoloring.
