Details
Join us at the Peachtree Branch Library at 12 p.m. on the first Friday of each month for a lively discussion of books that explore how design shapes our world. Hosted by MODA and the library, conversations are led by MODA staff or guest experts. If you like, bring your lunch (no red beverages, please) and dive into fresh perspectives on design!
This month, we invite you to explore A History of Women in 101 Objects by Annabelle Hirsch led by Felicia E. Gail. What can a bicycle, 17th century glass, a pair of platform shoes, or even a 30,000-year-old healed femur tell us about women’s lives? Quite a lot, it turns out. Hirsch takes us on a witty, surprising journey through history, using objects to uncover stories of women’s work, creativity, independence, and power, showing how the things we design and use can shape the lives we lead.
This book can be borrowed through the Fulton County Library system or purchased in MODA’s Design Shop.
No registration is necessary. Just read the book and join us for a discussion!
