SUMMARY:The Real Rainbow Row with Harlan Greene
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for an evening with Harlan Greene – where he’ll take us on a chronological tour through of The Real Rainbow Row\, with a lens toward illuminating that gay\, transgender\, and nonbinary people\, as well as gender fluidity\, that has been as ever-present and formative as the oyster beds that shape this land by the first settlers. Greene will be in conversation with History Professor\, Dr. Stephanie Yuhl. \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: \nThough Charleston has a reputation for holding onto the past longer than most other places\, it could not avoid the shock of change. Much has been written of the city’s history of civil rights\, and its rich African American\, women’s\, ethnic\, and religious past. One of the minority groups long left out of the club has been Charleston’s lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, questioning\, and other sexual minorities community. It’s not that they haven’t been here all along\, making history\, contributing greatly to the creation of one of America’s most distinctive cities. But\, even now\, with so many people out and acknowledged\, marching in the streets\, being elected to public office\, and marrying\, there are still discrepancies. There are no statues to LGBTQ people (while some discriminatory statutes linger)\, and very few official mentions anywhere. While other pasts blaze brightly\, there is just a flickering of knowledge about local LGBTQ history. \nAbout Harlan Greene: \nAn award winning author of fiction and nonfiction\, and historian\, Harlan Greene created a body of work that thematically centers on Charleston\, homosexuality\, and Jewish identity. Dripping in historic details and intricacies\, Greene’s fiction and nonfiction benefit from the skills and expertise honed in his professional life as an archivist\, researcher\, and historian. \nGreene has served as assistant director of the South Carolina Historical Society\, director of the North Carolina Preservation Consortium and the Charleston Public Library. He is the author of Mr. Skylark and the novels Why We Never Danced the Charleston and What the Dead Remember – that won the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction in 1991. He was nominated for the same award for his 2005 novel The German Officer’s Boy. \nIn addition to his writing\, Greene has worked as an archivist for the College of Charleston\, including collection materials relating to Jewish history in Charleston region. His most recent work\, The Real Rainbow Row\, digs deep and uncovers a wealth of knowledge about Charleston’s LGBTQ past and present in this fascinating and informative book. \nAbout Dr. Stephanie Yuhl: \nStephanie E. Yuhl (BA Georgetown\, PhD\, Duke) is the W. Arthur Garrity\, Sr. Professor in Human Nature\, Ethics and Society and Professor of History at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester\, Massachusetts\, and former Associate Faculty in the Critical Conservation program at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. She specializes in the social and cultural history of the twentieth-century United States\, with emphases in Southern history\, public history\, memory\, gender/sexuality\, and social movements. Yuhl is the author of the award-winning book A Golden Haze of Memory: The Making of Historic Charleston\, and “Hidden in Plain Sight: Center the Domestic Slave Trade in American Public History” (2013) on Charleston’s Old Slave Mart Museum\,” among other publications. She is a practicing public historian who has most recently served as the project lead and co-curator for the major exhibition and archive-building initiative\,  LGBTQ+ Worcester For The Record (funded in part by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation) at Worcester Historical Museum. Yuhl also served lead scholar and organizer with the Lowcountry Digital History Initiative (College of Charleston)and the Gibbes Museum of Art (Charleston\, SC) of Revisiting Prop Master: A Digital Exhibition and Catalog at the College of Charleston (2019)\, the digital recreation of a provocative 2009 anti-racist art exhibit at the Gibbes for which no physical catalog had been created. She currently directs the ongoing LGBTQ+ Worcester Oral History Project.

SUMMARY:Lite Lunch with Marie Benedict: The Mitford Affair
DESCRIPTION:“In her latest book The Mitford Affair\, Benedict plunges readers into a world of glamorous\, charismatic young British debutantes and then turns that shiny world on its head. I was blown away–learning this true story of the Mitford sisters and the roles they played for and against the Nazis was nothing short of astonishing. Benedict delivers with all that readers have come to love and expect from her: nuance\, elan\, and the most delicious storytelling.” ― Allison Pataki\, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post \nAuthor Marie Benedict’s mission is to excavate from the past the most important\, complex and fascinating women of history and bring them into the light of present-day where we can finally perceive the breadth of their contributions as well as the insights they bring to modern day issues. The CLS\, in collaboration with Buxton Books\, welcomes Benedict for a Lite Lunch on January 25th to launch her newest novel\, The Mitford Affair. This novel\, based on a true story\, explores the role that history’s most notorious sisters — the beautiful\, brilliant\, eccentric Mitfords — played in the rise of World War II\, both for and against the Nazis.​ \nTickets are $25 for CLS members and $35 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in (please note: boxed lunch not included with free admittance).\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nMarie Benedict will be pre-signing books from 11:15am\, before her program\, at CLS. To pre order your book with Buxton Books\, click here. \nAbout the Book:\nBetween the World Wars\, the six Mitford sisters — each more beautiful\, brilliant\, and eccentric than the next — dominate the English political\, literary\, and social scenes. Though they’ve weathered scandals before\, the family falls into disarray when Diana divorces her wealthy husband to marry a fascist leader and Unity follows her sister’s lead all the way to Munich\, inciting rumors that she’s become Hitler’s mistress. \nAs the Nazis rise in power\, novelist Nancy Mitford grows suspicious of her sisters’ constant visits to Germany and the high-ranking fascist company they keep. When she overhears alarming conversations and uncovers disquieting documents\, Nancy must make excruciating choices as Great Britain goes to war with Germany. \n​Probing the torrid political climate in the lead-up to World War II and the ways that seemingly sensible people can be sucked into radical action\, The Mitford Affair follows Nancy’s valiant efforts to stop the Nazis from taking over Great Britain\, and the complicated choices she must make between the personal and the political.\n \n  \nAbout Marie Benedict:\n​Marie Benedict is a lawyer with more than ten years of experience as a litigator at two of the country’s premier law firms\, who found her calling unearthing the hidden historical stories of women. Her mission is to excavate from the past the most important\, complex and fascinating women of history and bring them into the light of present-day where we can finally perceive the breadth of their contributions as well as the insights they bring to modern day issues. \nShe embarked on a new\, thematically connected series of historical novels with The Other Einstein\, which tells the tale of Albert Einstein’s first wife\, a physicist herself\, and the role she might have played in his theories. The next novel in this series is the USA Today bestselling Carnegie’s Maid\, next is The Only Woman in the Room – the story of the brilliant inventor Hedy Lamarr\, which was the New York Times bestseller and Barnes & Noble Book Club Pick. Lady Clementine\, the story of the incredible Clementine Churchill became an international bestseller\, along with The Mystery of Mrs. Christie\, The Personal Librarian\, and Her Hidden Genius – about the brilliant British scientist Rosalind Franklin who discovered the structure of DNA but whose research was used without her permission by Crick and Watson to win the Nobel Prize. And finally\, her newest release The Mitford Affair. \nWriting as Heather Terrell\, Marie also published the historical novels The Chrysalis\, The Map Thief\, and Brigid of Kildare. ​Marie’s novels have been translated into twenty-nine languages.

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.
