[Michlib-l] Upcoming Virtual Program at BPL- Ladies of the Lights

[Mick Howey]

Hello Michlib-I,

Please join us at 7:00 PM on Monday, May 23, 2022 for the Ladies of the
Lights presentation.

Event description is below:

They were women before their time, taking on the romantic, yet dangerous
and physically demanding job of tending to the beacons that protected the
shoreline. In all, some 40 women have been identified who excelled in this
profession over the years — dating back as early as the 1840s and as recent
as present day. Join author Dianna Stampler for the remarkable stories of
the ladies of the lights.

Nearly 70 images of keepers, their families and their lights make up this
presentation. The program includes readings from newspapers and
autobiographies, as well as handouts including the list of featured ladies
and additional reading references for attendees. Dianna is the author of
three books about Michigan’s lighthouses, including her latest release
Death & Lighthouses of the Great Lakes: A History of Misfortune and Murder.

Note: This is a virtual event. Registration is required to receive the Zoom

emailed the afternoon of the event.



Hope to see you there!
