Harmony Library in Fort Collins presents
Eleanor Roosevelt - This is My Story
Friday September 26, 2008
4616 South Shields
Fort Collins, CO
7:00-8:00 p.m.
Free and open to the public. Recommended for adults and youth ages 12 and up.
Meet first lady Eleanor Roosevelt in 1937, during her husband’s second term as president. In the 1920’s, Eleanor had worked to advance minimum wage, maximum hours, laws against child labor, women's rights, women's representation in government, world peace, and civil rights. She continued to advance her causes while her husband was in office. No other "first lady" had ever taken on such a public role. Furthermore, Eleanor often served as her husband's eyes and ears across the United States by inspecting factories, inner city tenements, and military camps - because FDR’s polio confined him to a wheelchair.
Behind this public life is the story of a little girl who lost both parents before the age of ten, a debutante who felt trapped by society’s expectations, and a young wife who bore six and raised five children (one girl and four boys) before emerging as one of the 20th century’s most remarkable women.
The presentation will be followed by a Question and Answer period with Mrs. Roosevelt. This, in turn, will be followed by a Question and Answer period with the scholar/presenter Susan Marie Frontczak. Hear Eleanor Roosevelt’s views on what makes life worth living and how we can each make a difference in the midst of a strife-filled world — views at least as relevant today as they were 70 years ago.

Teen-age mother, behind-the-scenes supporter of social reform, romantic, and scholar, English writer Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) may be best known as the author of Frankenstein, but there is much more to be learned about her, both personally and psychologically.
Discover how this author blended themes and events from her own life with a vivid imagination to construct one of the worlds most enduring novels.
Mary Shelley's work raises ethical questions that are, if anything, more pertinent today than they were in her lifetime: The Ethics of Science and Technology, and our Social Responsibility to the abandoned members of society. Discover how this author blended themes and events from her own life with a vivid imagination to construct one of the worlds most enduring novels.
One-hour program consists of a 40-45 minute monologue in-character, followed first by a question and answer period with "Mary Shelley" and then by a question and answer period with the scholar/presenter. Free and open to the public.

Thursday March 26, 2009 at the Keller Theater, Storrs campus
