From LiveGirl:

February 26 2020

New Canaan, Connecticut - LiveGirl invites parents and daughters to celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day together.

LiveGirl Founder and CEO Sheri West offered, “We are hosting a number of different family activities and events to engage the community, because providing access to fierce female role models and modeling the importance of women’s issues is important in raising a strong daughter.”

First, LiveGirl and the New Canaan Library are hosting ONE BOOK / ONE TOWN and have selected The Only Woman in the Room, a powerful novel by best-selling author, Marie Benedict about the incredible true story of Hedy Lamarr. West explained, “With only 3% of US history textbooks relating to women, it’s necessary to supplement our daughter’s reading with books who tell the stories of the many accomplished women who helped shape our world.” Readers are encouraged to join a parent/daughter discussion led by mother/daughter duo Dawn and Phoebe Kurth and author, Marie Benedict, on Saturday, March 28th at the New Canaan Library.

On Sunday, March 8th - International Women’s Day - LiveGirl will host a live taping of their mother/daughter Confident podcast at Hayvn, a women’s coworking space in Darien. The episode will feature Denise D’Agostino, Co-Founder of Her New Standard, who will discuss the playbook for the next generation of female leaders and take live Q&A from the audience.

Finally, throughout the month of March, LiveGirl will be hosting a series of women’s history-themed contests and quizzes on their social media @goLiveGirl. All events are free of charge, registration required at www.goLiveGirl.org/upcoming-events.
