<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">March is <a href="https://cityofpasadena.libguides.com/onecityonestory"><span style="color: orange;">One City, One Story</span></a> month -- our community reading celebration with that include book discussions, films, presentations, special programs and more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you read the current selection "<a href="http://www.laraprescott.com/"><span style="color: orange;">The Secrets We Kept</span></a>" by Lara Prescott yet, which is inspired by true events? (I have!) At the height of the Cold War, two female secretaries are pulled from the typing pool at the CIA and given the assignment of a lifetime, filled with intrigue and risk: smuggle <a href="https://spartacus-educational.com/RUSpasternak.htm"><span style="color: orange;">Boris Pasternak</span></a>'s manuscript for his epic novel "Doctor Zhivago" out of the USSR, where no one dares publish it, and help it make its way into print around the world, and then smuggle copies of the book translated into Russian back into the USSR. The story is intertwined with that of the decades-long affair between Pasternak and mis mistress/muse, Olga Ivinskaya, who was dragged to Gulags twice for her involvement in the book and who inspired the "<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Doctor-Zhivago-novel"><span style="color: orange;">Doctor Zhivago</span></a>" heroine Lara. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Espionage, intrigue and strong women, oh my! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">March is <a href="https://cityofpasadena.libguides.com/onecityonestory"><span style="color: orange;">One City, One Story</span></a> month -- our community reading celebration with events that include book discussions, films, presentations, special programs and more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you read the current selection "<a href="http://www.laraprescott.com/"><span style="color: orange;">The Secrets We Kept</span></a>" by Lara Prescott yet, which is inspired by true events? (I have!) At the height of the Cold War, two female secretaries are pulled out of the typing pool at the CIA and given the assignment of a lifetime, filled with intrigue and risk: smuggle <a href="https://spartacus-educational.com/RUSpasternak.htm"><span style="color: orange;">Boris Pasternak</span></a>'s manuscript for his epic novel "<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Doctor-Zhivago-novel"><span style="color: orange;">Doctor Zhivago</span></a>" out of the USSR, where no one dares publish it, and help it make its way into print around the world. The story is intertwined with that of the decades-long affair between Pasternak and his mistress/muse, Olga Ivinskaya, who was dragged off to the Gulag twice for her involvement in the book and inspired the "Doctor Zhivago" heroine Lara. One City, One Story events are scheduled all month long. There is one event scheduled this coming week:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Espionage, intrigue and strong women, oh my! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">March is <a href="https://cityofpasadena.libguides.com/onecityonestory"><span style="color: orange;">One City, One Story</span></a> month -- our community reading celebration with events that include book discussions, films, presentations, special programs and more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you read the current selection "<a href="http://www.laraprescott.com/"><span style="color: orange;">The Secrets We Kept</span></a>" by Lara Prescott yet, which is inspired by true events? (I have!) At the height of the Cold War, two female secretaries are pulled out of the typing pool at the CIA and given the assignment of a lifetime, filled with intrigue and risk: smuggle <a href="https://spartacus-educational.com/RUSpasternak.htm"><span style="color: orange;">Boris Pasternak</span></a>'s manuscript for his epic novel "<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Doctor-Zhivago-novel"><span style="color: orange;">Doctor Zhivago</span></a>" out of the USSR, where no one dares publish it, and help it make its way into print around the world. The story is intertwined with that of the decades-long affair between Pasternak and his mistress/muse, Olga Ivinskaya, who was dragged off to the Gulag for her involvement in the book and inspired the "Doctor Zhivago" heroine Lara. One City, One Story events are scheduled all month long. Here are events scheduled this coming week:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: large;">This year is the 25th anniversary of the PBS documentary "<a href="http://www.uwosh.edu/filmandhistory/documentary/women/onewoman.php"><span style="color: orange;">One Woman, One Vote</span></a>" (1995, TV-PG) narrated by Susan Sarandon, which will be shown <b>Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 1 p.m.</b> in the Donald R. Wright Auditorium at <a href="https://www.cityofpasadena.net/library/branches/central-library/"><span style="color: orange;">Central Library</span></a>. The film documents the 70-year struggle for women's suffrage that culminated in the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Discover why the crusaders faced entrenched opposition from men as well as women, and why so many feared what might happen to the American way of life if women won the right to vote. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guMQVScJoOg"><span style="color: orange;">See the trailer here</span></a>.</span><br />
