If you didn't get to hear Betty's List Book Club's first speaker, the remarkable Renate Stendhal, you're in luck. She will be appearing on October 3rd at the Commonwealth Club. I'm really looking forward to interviewing her about Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas' controversial relationship.

Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein’s relationship has been considered in turn shocking, a reason for feminist celebration, critique and the object of intense speculation. This talk will explore how the most famous lesbian couple of modern times has stirred the imagination of readers ever since their salon became “one of the best rooms in the finest museum.” (Hemingway)
