Charleston Library Society Hosting Virtual Event with Julia Cooke and Catherine Grace Katz

On June 1st at 6 pm The Charleston Library Society will virtually welcome Julia Cooke and Catherine Grace Katz as they discuss Cooke’s Come Fly The World: The Jet Age Story of the Women of Pan Am, on the remarkable unseen role women flight attendants of the 60s and 70s played on the world stage.

The book reveals the largely hidden role played by international airline stewardesses, as they were then known, in the Vietnam War. These incredible women were a cross between diplomats, adrenaline junkies, and third-wave feminists. The two authors will also cover topics about women performing public diplomacy in unofficial roles across history.

To RSVP, fill out the form on the “Upcoming Events” page or call 843-723-9912.
