Rita Mae Brown is one of the most revered writers in the country. The author of over 35 novels, three poetry collections, three screenplays, five television series, seven television films, and numerous impassioned essays, Ms. Brown is an intellectual force to be reckoned with. An activist extraordinaire in the early days of the civil rights, women's, and lesbian/gay liberation movements, Ms. Brown co-founded numerous organizations. Her activism and writing coalesced in the publication of her first novel, Rubyfruit Jungle [italicize], in 1973.
"An Afternoon With Rita Mae Brown" will include a silent auction and a drawing. A selection of Ms. Brown's books will also be available for purchase at the event. For more information, please call Gerber/Hart at 773-381-8030, or visit the Gerber/Hart web site at www.gerberhart.org.
