SUMMARY:Weinstein Author Series – Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt | Boardinghouse Women
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT\n\nJoin us for a talk by author 
 Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt on her new book\, Boardinghouse Women: How 
 Southern Keepers\, Cooks\, Nurses\, Widows\, and Runaways Shaped Modern 
 America. Engelhardt argues that modern American food\, business\, 
 caretaking\, politics\, sex\, travel\, writing and restaurants all owe a 
 debt to boardinghouse women in the South. From the 18th century well into 
 the 20th\, entrepreneurial women ran boardinghouses that were often hubs of 
 business innovation and engines of financial independence. Within their 
 walls\, residents and owners developed the region's earliest printed 
 cookbooks\, created space for making music and writing literary works\, 
 formed ad hoc communities of support\, tested boundaries of race and 
 sexuality\, and more. Engelhardt\, the Kenan Eminent Professor of Southern 
 Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, draws on a 
 vast archive to recover boardinghouse women's stories.\n\nA book signing 
 will follow the talk.\n\nThe Carole Weinstein Author Series supports the 
 literary arts by bringing both new and well-known authors to the Library of 
 Virginia through online or in-person events. Free and open to the public\, 
 the series focuses on Virginia authors and Virginia subjects across all 
 genres. This book will be available at the Virginia Shop. For more 
 information\, contact Anne McCrery at anne.mccrery@lva.virginia.gov or 
 804.692.3568.\n\nThis is a free event. Seating in the Lecture Hall is 
 available on a first come\, first served basis. Limited free parking is 
 available in the deck underneath the Library building.
