Sewickley Author to Monroeville Audience: Readers Are Hungry for Women’s Voices
A Sewickley author wants to give history’s overshadowed women a second chance in an era where people are “hungering” for these stories.
“It feels like I’m on a mission to excavate these really key women – it’s a real honor,” said Marie Benedict (’93), a breakthrough writer whose historical novels have recently reached bestseller lists in USA Today and the New York Times.
Benedict’s latest novel, “Lady Clementine,” features the life of Clementine Churchill, Winston’s wife.
