As part of our annual campaign Week Without Violence, join us for a presentation with Janet Newman.
When Janet Newman went to work for the YWCA of Wausau, she didn’t anticipate it would lead to writing a book nearly 30 years later. ‘Letters from Clara: One Intrepid Woman’s Travels on the Eve of War, 1936-1939’, published by the Wisconsin Historical Society Press, tells the story of a woman whose life was profoundly impacted by the YWCA. Janet will describe her adventure in piecing together Clara’s story and learning about the work of the YWCA in the 1920s and 1930s, both locally and globally.
