Wine reception to follow

Local author and journalist Pagan Kennedy launches The Secret History of the Rape Kit, a true crime biography that tells the story of the troubled, heroic woman who kicked off a feminist revolution in forensics, and then vanished into obscurity. A thrilling investigation into Martha Goddard, the inventor of the rape kit, Kennedy's book chronicles her mission to understand a crucial innovation in forensics and the woman who championed it. As Kennedy hunts for answers, she reflects on her own experiences with sexual assault and her own desire for justice. Joining Kennedy on stage is senior editor at The Atlantic, Honor Jones, for in-depth discussion, followed by an audience Q&A and signing.
