1:00PM \u2014 Love Story. A Feminist Twist<\/b>            
\nWhitney Scharer | Author, The Age of Light<\/em><\/p>\n

For the breakout author from Arlington, it was a long five-year journey to writing her first book, followed by a surprisingly quick turn. The Age of Light\u2019s <\/em>extraordinary reception by over a dozen publishers generated an aggressive bidding war. And now, the historical fiction is a sensation before it\u2019s even been published. Inspired by an exhibition of surrealist Man Ray\u2019s work at the Peabody Essex Museum, the story centers on pioneering photographer Lee Miller and her tumultuous relationship with Man Ray. Described as a feminist novel, it\u2019s a great love story about a woman who is not defined by a man and presents an interesting frame through which to view today\u2019s culture.<\/p>\n

Women were underrepresented at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, yet they over performed. In dramatic fashion the U.S.A.

So, what does it take to make history and bring home gold? This is a pivotal moment when female athletes are capturing the spotlight, gaining their share of media coverage, and the medals! Is this the visibility needed to propel discussions about equality on all fronts into the spotlight?                   <\/p>\n
