She Opened the Door will host an intimate fireside chat with Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author of the newly released "Aviator And The Showman". Laurie will share Earhart’s multifaceted human side, her struggles, and her authentic aspirations, the truths behind her brave pursuits and the compromises she made to fit into societal expectations. This event will include a fireside chat led by Francine Glick '77BC '09P followed by an opportunity to network with event attendees and have Laurie's book signed.

“Laurie Gwen Shapiro has dug deep into the archives, and emerged with an exhilarating tale of the adventurous life of Amelia Earhart and the remarkable relationship that helped to forge her legend. Yet Shapiro goes even further-stripping away the myths and revealing something far more profound and intricate and true. The Aviator and the Showman is one terrific book.”

—David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon
