SUMMARY:Book Club: “Dinners with Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships”
DESCRIPTION:Dinners with Ruth is an extraordinary account of two women who paved the way for future generations by tearing down professional and legal barriers. It is also an intimate memoir of the power of friendships as women began to pry open career doors and transform the workplace. At the story’s heart is one\, special relationship: Ruth and Nina saw each other not only through personal joys\, but also illness\, loss\, and widowhood. They shared not only a love of opera\, but also of shopping\, as they instinctively understood that clothes were armor for women who wanted to be taken seriously in a workplace dominated by men. During Ruth’s last year\, they shared so many small dinners that Saturdays were “reserved for Ruth” in Nina’s house. \n\n\n\nWe are located in PJCC Classroom D
