I’ll be headed west — to the Midwest — on the next phase of my book tour.

On Tuesday, Nov. 17, I’ll be visiting the University of Missouri, a very special place to me. My papers are part of the National Women and Media section of the Western Historical Manuscript Collection, which is housed at Columbia, Mo. It’s an honor to be included with outstanding women like Suzanne Levine, Sarah McClendon, Geneva Overholser and Sylvia Porter.

I’m speaking at 1 p.m. to students and the public at the Physics Building, with a reception and book signing to follow.

On Wednesday, Nov. 18, I’m back in Chicago to speak to the Labor and Employment Relations Association, which meets at 11:30 a.m. at John Marshall Law School.

And on Thursday, Nov. 19, I’m taking part in a panel discussion at 2 p.m. as part of the US-China Chamber conference on finance and investment. It’s particularly timely session given President Obama’s trip to Asia.

Hope to see you at one of my appearances.
