<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>An Evening with New York Times Bestselling Author Peggy Orenstein<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">On Tuesday, May 17 at 7 p.m. the Hudson Library & Historical Society will welcome
<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Peggy Orenstein to discuss her newest book
<i>Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape. </i>In the book, Orenstein, author of the bestselling book
<i>Cinderella Ate My Daughter</i>, focuses on females from high school to college. Through in-depth interviews with over seventy young women, psychologists and other experts, Orenstein examines the “hidden truths, hard lessons, and important possibilities of
girls’ sex lives in the modern world.” <i>Publisher’s Weekly</i> calls the book “Eye-opening…. Orenstein draws powerful, humane portraits of her interview subjects, self-reliant young women who find themselves trapped by sexist stereotypes about women’s bodies
and women’s pleasure. [A] smart, earnest, and timely assessment.” Orenstein was recently featured in the
<i>Washington Post</i> and on NPR’s Fresh Air. This event is made possible by the Hudson Library & Historical Society’s Libby Walker Women’s Studies Lecture Series.<o:p></o:p></p>
