Amelia Klem Osterud & James A. Levine
Wednesday, October 7 | 5:30 - 7:00 PM
Venue: Wisconsin Studio/Overture
Presenter(s): Amelia Klem Osterud, James A. Levine
An event featuring two wildly diverse books: James A. Levine’s novel The Blue Notebook, a story about a fifteen-year-old girl sold into sexual slavery in Mumbai, and The Tattooed Lady: A History
by Amelia Klem Osterud, on women who made sideshow livings by
displaying their bodies onstage in an era when even a bit of ankle was
considered scandalous. This promises to spark a provocative
conversation about women who, by choice or not, do work that puts them
on the fringe of society -- and about the economic forces that foster
such "work."
