Spirited Women: Heather Webb & Allison Pataki

With “Spirited Women”, The Mark Twain House and Museum sets out to explore trailblazing and adventurous women—as chronicled in two new novels—who claim their power by any means necessary. Queens of London is a tale of the dark glamour and sisterhood of Britain’s first female crime syndicate, and how they managed the ever-shifting meaning of justice. Finding Margaret Fuller is a story, with a star-studded cast and sweeping, epic historical events, about a woman who transcended the rigid roles ascribed to women and changed history, all on her own terms. After the discussion, Heather Webb and Allison Patakiat will be available to sign copies of their books.
