Events for September 19, 2024

In her newest program Mothers of Invention, Carol Simon Levin, from Telling Her Stories, portrays Lillian Moller Gilbreth, motion study pioneer and “Cheaper by the Dozen” mother of 12 — then shares the stories of other overlooked women innovators, including many women of color. From Margaret Knight (the 19th century “Female Edison”) to Hollywood superstar Hedy Lamarr, these “Mothers of Invention” changed our lives, yet their accomplishments were all too often ignored, discounted or credited to others. This program is being held at the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library. Registration is required. Visit the link below to register. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ocean County Library - Toms River.
