High Tea by Gerri

Literary dramatist Leslie Goddard in character as Amelia Earhart


American aviator Amelia Earhart’s courageous exploits and spirited personality made her an international celebrity. Her dazzling achievements include becoming the first woman to cross the Atlantic ocean by airplane (1928) and the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic (1932). She set numerous speed and altitude records before disappearing mysteriously in 1937 during an attempted around-the-world flight.  

Leslie Goddard’s presentation reviews Amelia Earhart’s upbringing, the records she broke, and her tireless work to promote opportunities for women.

Leslie Goddard earned a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, specializing in U.S. cultural history, American studies, and women's history. She also holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in theater. An award winning scholar, Leslie Goddard authored Remembering Marshall Fields and Chicago’s Sweet Candy History.

Catered by High Tea with Gerri

Hi,

A gentle reminder this is one week away.

It's quite interesting to receive payments with notes thanking us for hosting the tea. We are eternally grateful for their interest. This morning a woman called from Madison, WI who plans to attend. Last year, we were thrilled we had a table from Milwaukee.

Hope to see some familiar faces!

Regards,

Hi,
