I wanted you to know that a book I’ve been working on for many years, my first work of creative nonfiction, is about to be published. Written under my married name Liza Bennett, Georgia & Anita tells the little-known story of the enduring friendship between Georgia O’Keeffe, America’s first great woman artist, and Anita Pollitzer, a charismatic leader of the suffragist movement.
Here’s a link to the website for the book that gives some background to the story, along with photos and paintings that, due to printing costs, I wasn’t able to include in the book: https://www.georgiaandanita.com
I’ll be doing an event on Wednesday, May 7th at 6 p.m. with Ellen Feldman, the author of many acclaimed historical novels, at the New York Society Library to launch the book. If you’re in the city, it would be great if you could be there, though you can also attend remotely. Here’s a link with more information and to register: https://www.nysoclib.org/events/liza-bennett-georgia-anita-friendship-georgia-okeeffe-anita-pollitzer-ellen-feldman
There will be books for sale at the event.
I’ll be doing other events in the Berkshires in Massachusetts over the course of the summer, details to follow.
