Local author and historian P. (Patty) O’Connell Pearson (WFYP, June 2015) will be visiting the City of Fairfax Regional Library to talk about her newest book, No Ordinary Women: How Progressive Era Reformers Reshaped America.  This book, recommended for ages 10 and up, details a period of time defined by rampant inequality. Through grassroots movements, people remade American society and government from the ground up. These activists were the Progressives, and thousands of them were women—even though women did not yet have the right to vote. 

Copies of the book will be available for sale and author signature.
