Welcome to the Florida JCCs Monthly Book & Author Series, brought to you by the six participating JCC's in South Florida and Orlando.
This month features Janice Kaplan, author of The Genius of Women
In Conversation with Susan Gladstone Pasternack, Executive Director of the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU
About The Book
Girls are told that they can be anything, so why do 90 percent of Americans believe that geniuses are almost always men? Kaplan explores the powerful forces that have rigged the system, and celebrates the women geniuses past and present who have triumphed anyway. Kaplan set out to determine why the extraordinary work of so many women has been brushed aside. Using a mix of memoir and narrative, she discovers women geniuses throughout history. Genius isn’t just about having talent; it’s about ignoring obstacles and breaking down barriers so that one’s talent is recognized, nurtured, and celebrated.
