Anita Diamant will discuss her new book, "The Boston Girl," about family values, friendship and feminism seen through the eyes of a young Jewish woman in Boston in early 20th century.
Addie Baum's immigrant parents were suspicious of America and its effect on their three daughters. Her intelligence takes her to a world they can't imagine-with short skirts, movies and celebrities; where women go to college, have a career and find true love.
Diamant's bestselling book, "The Red Tent," about an obscure character in Genesis, was published in over 25 countries and adapted into a miniseries.
Elizabeth Schwyzer, the Arts & Entertainment Editor of Palo Alto Weekly, will moderate.
