Worthington Library hosts Martha Ackmann on the Mercury 13 Astronauts

July 21 at 7 pm, the Worthington Library is honored to present award-winning author, Martha Ackmann, who will speak about her book, The Mercury 13: The True Story of Thirteen Women and the Dream of Space Flight. Dr Ackmann is a member of the Gender Studies Department at Mount Holyoke College who writes about women who have changed America. She is a frequent contributor to many of the nation's newspapers and is a commentator for National Public Radio. A much sought-after speaker, she uses the story of the Mercury 13 as an inspiring study of women's determination and hope. This program is free to the public and is a part of this summer's reading program, Starship Adventure at Your Library.

Starship Adventure at Your Library is funded by the Connie Dorrington Fund, your public library, the Massachusetts Regional Library Systems, and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
