Everyone,

Sorry for the last-minute notice. Tomorrow, Friday, 19 November 2010, at noon, Cynthia A Kierner, professor of History at George Mason University, will deliver the second annual Crenshaw Lecture at Virginia Commonwealth University.

The lecture, entitled, “Virginia Women and the Politics of the Early Republic: The Strange Case of Martha Jefferson Randolph,” will presented at Scott House, located at 909 West Franklin Street, on the VCU Monroe Park Campus in Richmond.

A reception will follow. The lecture is free and open to the public. 

For more information contact Shirley McDaniel, at [log in to unmask] or (804) 827-0867.

Those who have heard Cynthia Kierner speak before know that she will offer a thought-provoking, lively experience. A specialist in the fields of early America, women and gender, and early southern history, Dr. Kierner is the author or editor of six books including Scandal at Bizarre: Rumor and Reputation in Jeffersons America (2004). An OAH Distinguished Lecturer and past president of the Southern Association for Women Historians (SAWH), Kierner has received support from the American Historical Association, the Virginia Historical Society, the Library Company of Philadelphia, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Her lecture will be drawn from her current major project, a biography titled A Perfect Temper: The Life and Times of Martha Jefferson Randolph to be published in 2011 by the University of North Carolina Press. 

I repeat: FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
