Authors @ McMillan - Margeret Mooney, "Radical Family"

June 11th at 6:30pm

Editor Margaret Mooney and contributor Margaret McMurray will talk about their new book from the Wisconsin Historical Society Press, Radical Family: Trailblazing Le***an Moms Tell Their Stories.

For generations, le****ns across the United States were systematically denied opportunities to raise children and build families, opportunities that were readily available to straight people. Radical Family honors the history-making struggles and triumphs of le***an families in Madison, Wisconsin, who raised children in the 1980s, ’90s, and early 2000s. In a collection of nine profoundly personal essays, contributors recount their diverse paths to parenthood, as well as the hopes and challenges each family experienced. While the stories in Radical Family are unique, they all share a common thread: the mothers’ resilience and the risks they took to defend their family’s right to exist.

On May 11th, a visitor to McMillan left behind a black fleece jacket on a chair in the computer area upstairs. It is embroidered with a Gino’s logo. There wasn’t a wallet or obvious id in any of the pockets but there was a tax document with a Chicago address. The name on the document doesn’t correspond to anyone with a McMillan library card. If you are missing this jacket, you can stop by our Information Desk on the 2nd floor to pick it up. We’ll just need you to identify the name on the document so that we can be sure that you are the proper owner.
