UW Bothell hosts two authors at campus library
The UW Bothell is expecting two literary guests in the next week.
On Wednesday, Nov. 5, Mary Woodward will visit the Campus Library for a book talk and signing. Woodward is the author of In Defense of Our Neighbors, a personal and stirring account of one couple’s fight to help a community grapple with the internment of its Japanese American citizens.
Walt and Milly Woodward, Mary’s parents, ran the Bainbridge Review on Bainbridge Island. The island was home to more than 200 Americans of Japanese descent when Pearl Harbor was bombed and the country was thrown into a state of fear and panic.
The talk will be at 2:30 p.m. in Room 205 of the library.
On Thursday, Nov. 6, Kit Bakke will speak about her book, Miss Alcott’s E-Mail: Yours for Reforms of All Kinds (2006); a Q&A session will follow. Bakke is a 1960s activist who worked with the Weather Underground.
Her talk is at 3:30 p.m., also in Room 205 of the library. Both talks are free and open to the public.
