Meet Edith Rockefeller McCormick, brought to life by historical interpreter Ellie Carlson and biographer Andrea Friederici Ross. Edith was an unusual woman: fiercely intellectual, unapologetically opinionated, and often prickly. But without her, we may not have Brookfield Zoo, Chicago opera, James Joyce's Ulysses, a cure for scarlet fever, and the popularity of Jungian psychoanalysis. Carlson will walk off the page as Edith to join Ross in a discussion of her book and the extraordinary life it portrays.

This program is free for everyone.   A voluntary suggested donation of $15 at the door for non-members is appreciated.  There will be no lunch before the program, but there will be a tea table after the program.  It will also be live-streamed via Zoom.   Please click HERE to register for Zoom.
