SUMMARY:History Readers Book Club - April
DESCRIPTION: April\n\n\n\n\n\nEmily’s House\nby Amy Belding Brown \nApril 7 \n\n\n\n\nMassachusetts\, 1869. Margaret Maher has never been one to settle down. At twenty-seven\, she’s never met a man who has tempted her enough to relinquish her independence to a matrimonial fate\, and she hasn’t stayed in one place for long since her family fled the potato famine a decade ago. \nWhen Maggie accepts a temporary position at the illustrious Dickinson family home in Amherst\, it’s only to save money for her upcoming trip West to join her brothers in California. Maggie never imagines she will form a life-altering friendship with the eccentric\, brilliant Miss Emily or that she’ll stay at the Homestead for the next thirty years. \nIn this richly drawn novel\, Amy Belding Brown explores what it is to be an outsider looking in\, and she sheds light on one of Dickinson’s closest confidantes—perhaps the person who knew the mysterious poet best—whose quiet act changed history and continues to influence literature to this very day.

SUMMARY:History Readers Book Club - January
DESCRIPTION:January 6\n\n\n\n\nFinding Margaret Fuller\n by Allison Partake \n\n\n\n\nIn the company of Ralph Waldo Emerson and his circle of enlightened friends\, the young\, beautiful\, and brilliant Margaret Fuller becomes “the radiant genius and fiery heart” of the Transcendentalists. She inspires Louisa May Alcott\, sparks Nathaniel Hawthorne to create Hester Prynne\, and forms close bonds with Henry David Thoreau and Emerson himself. However\, Margaret’s soul yearns for more than poetry and drama\, leading her on a journey of adventure and self-discovery. \nFrom hosting a women-only literary salon in Boston to becoming the first woman permitted entry to Harvard’s library\, Margaret defies societal conventions as an activist for women’s rights and a champion for humanity. On the gritty New York streets\, she spars with Edgar Allan Poe and reports on the work of Frederick Douglass. And when offered an assignment in Europe by editor Horace Greeley\, Margaret becomes the first female foreign news correspondent\, mingling with the likes of Frédéric Chopin\, William Wordsworth\, and George Sand. In Rome\, she embarks on a passionate love affair with a Roman count\, causing an international scandal. As a mother and a countess\, Margaret enters a new fight for Italy’s unification. \nWith a star-studded cast and an epic sweep of historical events\, this is a story of an inspiring trailblazer\, a woman who loved big and lived even bigger—a fierce adventurer who transcended the rigid roles ascribed to women and changed history for millions\, all on her own terms.
