Hi everyone--
I'm thinking of all of you and hoping hard that you're safe and healthy. If you find yourself in need of distraction, here's an idea.
The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation has kindly invited me to do a virtual illustrated talk on the Blackwell sisters and public health, co-sponsored by Women of NoHo and coming up in a couple of weeks:
Sister Doctors in a Time of Need: Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell and the Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children on Bleecker Street
Wednesday, April 22, 6:30-7:30pm
RSVP here for Zoom link

I hope you can join--this is one event that everyone can get to!
In book news, I'm thrilled to report that the now-officially-titled The Doctors Blackwell: How Two Pioneering Sisters Brought Medicine to Women, and Women to Medicine is finished and making its way through production at W.W. Norton, on track for publication in time for Elizabeth Blackwell's 200th birthday next February. Stay tuned for updates.
Meanwhile, if you need something to read while the libraries are closed, my two favorite NYC indie bookshops, Three Lives & Company on West 10th Street and the Corner Bookstore on Madison Avenue, are both taking remote orders for delivery anywhere. Click here for the Three Lives online order form. For the Corner Bookstore, email cornerbook@aol.com.
Stay safe and hope to see you on April 22--
Janice
