The Only Woman In The Room By Marie Benedict

Who loves a signed book?! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ I got the pleasure of meeting @authormariebenedict at a literacy event earlier this year 📚 and she is just as amazing in person! I love how she takes women in history and writes fantastic stories about their lives. This is my second book by Marie and it did not disappoint!  You may have heard of actress Hedy Lamar, but did you know she invented one of today’s most used communications technology? Read this riveting account of her life, marriages, and intellect against the backdrop of World War II.  I loved this book and the way the author portrays a woman traditionally known only for her beauty. I won’t give away too much of the book, but my favorite part was her daring escape from her first husband. I highly recommend The Only Woman In The Room for historical fiction, women’s empowerment, World War II, or Old Hollywood readers 🌟 • • • #bookstagram  #bookishlove  #readingisfun @sourcebooks #sourcebookslandmark #theonlywomanintheroom #mariebened

We stand on the edge of the cliffs of our lives, and although we are afraid of stepping into the unknown, terrified where we will land and unsure of how to overcome, we do not run away. We stand firm in the face of the impossible, muster up as
