On Tuesday, October 24th at 6:00 p.m. central, the LaSalle Public Library will virtually host historians from A Tour of Her Own in presenting “Wild Women of Watergate.”

The Watergate scandal rocked Washington, DC, fifty years ago, capturing millions of Americans' attention. While the most famous figures dominating the press attention and subsequent cultural impact were men, women engaged and intersected with this watershed event in intriguing and essential ways. In this program, A Tour of Her Own, will talk about women in the White House and at the newspapers, pursuing justice and fighting against Nixon, and how their stories assist in understanding a changing American society.

A Tour Of Her Own was founded in 2018 by licensed tour guide Kaitlin Calogera as the first tourism company in Washington, D.C., to focus exclusively on women’s history after seeing a lack of women’s representation in history and public spaces. Kaitlin mobilized a team that collectively turned this vision into a sustainable venture.

The program is free and open to the public. It will be presented virtually via Zoom. Register: https://shorturl.at/lmu34. For more information, please call the Library at 815-223-2341.
