Finding A Woman's Place: Adirondack Book Launch Party
Duvall tells the story through a PowerPoint slide show, followed by a discussion period. Hearing about the personal lives of women who were brave enough to begin anew at A Woman's Place will hopefully inspire women, and men, to take action in their own lives. As an introduction, Duvall will present her views on the status of women and how they were treated until the mid-1990s, adding her own experiences during that time, as she is of the same age cohort as the brave women who started A Woman's Place.
