[womeninmed] WIMS BookClub - June 13, 2022, 5:30pm

[Sandra Jarvis]

The next Women in Medicine & Science (WIMS) Book club is scheduled for June 13, 2022 at 5:30pm at Dale Avers' home (see below for address)


The book is:  The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict

(Hedy Kiesler is lucky. Her beauty leads to a starring role in a controversial film and marriage to a powerful Austrian arms dealer, allowing her to evade Nazi persecution despite her Jewish heritage. But Hedy is also intelligent. At lavish Vienna dinner parties, she overhears the Third Reich's plans. One night in 1937, desperate to escape her controlling husband and the rise of the Nazis, she disguises herself and flees her husband's castle.  She lands in Hollywood, where she becomes Hedy Lamarr, screen star. But Hedy is keeping a secret even more shocking than her Jewish heritage: she is a scientist. She has an idea that might help the country and that might ease her guilt for escaping alone—if anyone will listen to her.)


If you plan to attend, please bring an appetizer or drink to share.

Please remember, you do not need to read the book to attend Book Club.
