Meet the Author with Carolyn Curry

Georgia Writers Museum is excited to announce that Carolyn Curry will be the October Meet the Author presenter on Tuesday, October 7th at 7:00 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm). She will be presenting her brand-new book, Trudy's Awakening. Tickets are $40 ($35 each for two or more) and will include free drinks and a themed meal created by Chef Brent.

Trudy's Awakening is a historical novel set in the latter half of nineteenth-century Georgia that tells the story of three women whose lives were intermingled as they worked to overcome society's barriers to their progress and success. Curry uses her deep research from the award-winning biography, Suffer and Grow Strong: The Life of Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas, 1834-1907, to imagine the way these women's different paths crossed in their fight for freedom, civil rights, and successful careers. 

Carolyn Curry is an award-winning author, historian, and founder of the non-profit Women Alone Together, which she directed for 22 years. She holds a BA degree in English from Agnes Scott College and an MA and Ph.D. in history from Georgia State University. Her 2014 book Suffer and Grow Strong was selected One of the Books all Georgians should read by the Georgia Center for the Book. In 2015, Curry received Georgia Author of the Year from the Georgia Writers Association.
