May 8 – The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict
Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated in everything else, she overheard the Third Reich’s plans while at her husband’s side, understanding more than anyone would guess. She managed to flee from both her husband and the Nazis and landed in Hollywood as Hedy Lamarr. A powerful novel based on the incredible true story of the glamour icon and scientist we know as Hedy.

June 12 – The Women by Kristin Hannah
Women can be heroes too! When twenty-year-old nursing student Frankie hears these words, it is a revelation. She has always done the right thing, but in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships off to Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets—and becomes one of—the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America.

July 10 – The Majority by Elizabeth Silver
A riveting novel about motherhood and ambition, love and friendship, and one woman’s fight to be a Supreme Court Justice. Half of the United States is waiting for Justice Sylvia Olin Bernstein to die. The other half is praying for her to live. At eighty-three, “the Contemptuous S.O.B.” doesn’t have much time left. What she does have is her story. Covering the span of fifty years, Sylvia’s personal account reveals the intimate truth about a woman who is not just a brilliant mind but a daughter, a best friend, a wife, and a mother. Caught between the competing desires of career and family, truth and convenience, progress and patience, she will be given a chance to change the course of American history.
