Join us for a zoom-based reading and conversation with author Sallie Bingham on Thursday, June 9, at 2:00 p.m. ET<\/strong> (Register here: https:\/\/duke.is\/cm8ce<\/a>). In her latest memoir, Little Brother<\/em>, Bingham reflects on her youngest sibling, Jonathan, a deeply sensitive person who suffered from insecurity, isolation, and difficulty relating to his large family. Bingham draws from archived material including the young man\u2019s journal and letters. As in each of her previous memoirs, in addition to bringing these documents to life she offers critical historical context and makes vital connections across generations to create an intimate portrait of her complex family.\"\"<\/a>Sallie Bingham is a writer, teacher, feminist activist, and philanthropist. In addition to Little Brother<\/em>, Sallie’s recent books include a collection of short stories, a novella, and a play, entitled Treason: A Sallie Bingham Reader<\/em> (Sarabande Books, 2020) and The Silver Swan: Searching for Doris Duke<\/em> (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2020).<\/p>\n

In 1988, Sallie Bingham endowed a women’s studies archivist position in what is now known as the Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library, to coordinate the acquisition, cataloguing, reference and outreach activities related to women and gender. The Center was permanently endowed in 1993 and was named the “Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture” in 1999 in honor of Bingham.<\/p>\n

This program will be recorded and shared online. Pre-order the book from <\/a>Sarabande Books.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
