Join us for a virtual Author Talk with Stephanie Schorow, as she dives into her book A Boston Harbor Islands Adventure: The Great Brewster Journal of 1891. In 1891, four intrepid women from Lowell sailed to a remote island in Boston Harbor for a 17-day escape from New England's prim and proper society. Calling themselves the Scribe, the Aristocrat, the Acrobat, and the Autocrat, the women rusticated in a cottage on Great Brewster Island, reveling in the chance to shed their identities of wife, mother, and daughter. Relive their sojourn through their remarkable journal, filled with observations, illustrations, photographs, and poetry, reproduced here by the Friends of the Boston Harbor Islands. A reporter, editor, author, and writing instructor, Stephanie Schorow has written or co-written nine books on Boston's history, ranging from crime to fire to sexual politics to how to mix a great cocktail. Registration is required for this virtual event on Monday, September 14 @ 6:00 pm.
