We proudly welcome one of our own, IUP’s Dr. Joseph Mannard, associate history professor and 19th-century scholar, to discuss his latest work on a particularly rebellious and intriguing former nun, Ann Gertrude Wightt. Come learn how she became fast friends with First Lady Dolley Madison, paving a new path for herself beyond expected limitations for women at the time.

Dr. Mannard will discuss his book, hold a Q & A, and then sign books.

Books will be available for purchase at The Book Nook prior to the event. Support your local book store!

Attendance at this program is free, but registration is requested.
