\u201cLady Tan\u2019s Circle of Women\u201d is an emotive story of a woman\u2019s quest for identity and purpose in a restrictive society. In telling Yunxian\u2019s story, See reflects upon the historical challenges faced by women in medicine, and at the same time, she shares about their resilience, strength and the power of friendship.<\/p>\n
Supported by the Lane Public Library, the One City One Book Hamilton initiative aims to have everyone in the city read the book and attend OCOBH events in October, including a discussion with the author. <\/p>\n
The initiative was founded by Niki Motley, Honi Cohen and Karen Whalen.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a really fantastic initiative, and again, one of the grassroots initiatives you\u2019ve seen come forth from the community here in Hamilton,\u201d said Ian MacKenzie-Thurley, executive director of the Fitton Center for Creative Arts. <\/p>\n
He said One City One Book Hamilton has been well supported by various organizations, the city, The Lane Libraries and community members. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful way to have a shared experience together. Like when we go to the theater, or hear live music together, everyone has an opportunity to read this one book, and then to have a whole host of activities, events and engagements that tie directly into the book each year has been a great experience for the community,\u201d MacKenzie-Thurley said.<\/p>\n
