OBLONG ONLINE: Elizabeth Lesser in conversation with Dani Shapiro

“Every chapter of this blazingly wonderful book hit home. It gave me strength, comfort and hope."— Sally Field, Academy-award winning actor, bestselling author of "In Pieces." Elizabeth Lesser believes that if women’s voices had been equally heard and respected throughout history, humankind would have followed different hero myths and guiding stories—stories that value caretaking, champion compassion, and elevate communication over vengeance and violence. At this event she will talk with bestselling author Dani Shapiro about her new book CASSANDRA SPEAKS: When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes.
