The Dictionary of Lost Words
by Pip Williams
Thursday, July 14, 11:30 AM
Granite City Food and Brewery 801 Plaza Dr., Schaumburg, IL
Set during the height of the women’s suffrage movement and with the Great War looming, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. Inspired by actual events, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this highly original story. The Dictionary of Lost Words is a delightful, lyrical, and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words and the power of language to shape the world.
Open to LWVPA members and their guests.
