Wednesday, January 29 at 7 PM, Tenley Library Author Talk by Maurine Beasley on Discrimination faced by Women Reporters in DC. Maurine Beasley will discuss her book “Women of the Washington Press, Politics,
Prejudice, and Persistence," which chronicles for the first time the discrimination faced by Washington women reporters from the 1830s to the present day. Despite blatant prejudice -- some male news editors
believed women were too emotional to cover hard news and politics -- these remarkable journalists made enormous strides. Beasley, the dean of Washington journalism history, tells the story of determination by these
pioneering women reporters. Book sale and signing to follow event. At the Tenley Friendship Neighborhood Library, 4450 Wisconsin Ave NW. Sponsored by the Friends of the Tenley-Friendship Library
Wednesday, January 29 at 7:30 PM, Talk by architect Don Hawkins on "Tenleytown in the District's Early Road Network." Long before the site of the Federal City was selected, most of the roads that would connect it
with the new nation had already been developed to serve local needs. Many of them have been absorbed into the city's modern road system. This program will trace the paths and the histories of those that led to Tenleytown's development. Mr. Hawkins is an architect, a member of the Committee of One Hundred, and a map enthusiast. He has long been interested in DC’s history and is currently researching and writing a book on DC. Location: Place: Friendship Terrace, 4201 Butterworth Place, NW.
