Author Talk with Marie Benedict

Join author Marie Benedict as she discusses her acclaimed new novel, "The Only Woman in the Room." She will also explore the common theme throughout all her books – women who play pivotal roles in history but go unnoticed. In her most recent work of historical fiction, Benedict looks at the remarkable life of Austrian-born American film actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr. The New York Times raves, “[Benedict is] a novelist who’s made a career writing about ‘the only woman in the room’… In Benedict’s telling, the story is a ready-made thriller as well as a feminist parable.” A reception and book-signing will immediately follow the event.
