About the event

Journalist and Filmmaker Laurie Gwen Shapiro “The Aviator and the Showman"
In 1928, a young hobby pilot named Amelia Earhart arrived in the office of George Putnam. Heir to a publishing empire and a “hitmaker,” Putnam was on the hunt for the right woman for a secret flying mission across the Atlantic. Earhart and Putnam’s ahead-of-its-time marriage supported her grand ambitions—but also pressed her into more and more treacherous publicity stunts, including her final flight. Earhart is a captivating figure, but the truth about her life is often overshadowed by myth and legend. Laurie Gwen Shapiro emphasizes Earhart’s multifaceted human side: her struggles, aspirations, and the compromises she made to fit into societal expectations.
