Author Talk: "She Devils at the Door"

Join us for a talk by author Eliza Smith Brown, author of "She Devils at the Door", the true story of the Gilded Age’s “political twins” who brought women’s suffrage and political reform to the city of Pittsburgh.

Lucy and Eliza Kennedy were educated at Vassar College and became leading suffragettes. After women gained the right to vote in 1920, they spent the next forty years fighting corruption in politics and government. Tenacious, smart, and witty, they captivated crowds, won over opponents, and terrified the corrupt politicians who they campaigned against in a nonpartisan crusade.

Eliza Smith Brown is also the author of "Pittsburgh Legends and Visions", "A Legacy in Brick and Mortar: African American Landmarks in Allegheny County", and "The Duquesne Club Cookbook". She lives in Pittsburgh.
