Levy Lecture Series: The Watergate Girl

  • Date: 04/20/2021 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM  

Join the Levy Senior Center Foundation on Tuesday, April 20 for a virtual "The Watergate Girl" lecture as a part of the Levy Lecture Series.

In "The Watergate Girl," Jill Wine-Banks takes us inside this troubled time in American history, and it is impossible to read about the crimes of Richard Nixon and the people around him without drawing parallels to today’s headlines. The book is also the story of a young woman who sought to make her professional mark while trapped in a failing marriage, buffeted by sexist preconceptions, and harboring secrets of her own. Her house was burgled, her phones were tapped, and even her office garbage was rifled through.

At once a cautionary tale and an inspiration for those who believe in the power of justice and the rule of law, "The Watergate Girl" is a revelation about our country, our politics, and who we are as a society.

Presented via Zoom. Register.
