Downtown Bend: From Chicken to Eagle
Wednesday, June 05, 2024
12:30 PM to 1:30 PM
Location
Downtown Bend Library
Description
Listen to the story of seven women who took a wilderness adventure.
This presentation will describe the story of seven women who took a wilderness adventure at a time - 1979 - when women were starting to test their mettle in society and the wilderness. At their 40th reunion, they decided to write a book about this adventure and how it affected their lives. The result is,
From Chicken to Eagle: Seven Women Paddling Whitewater and Navigating Life
, being published in 2023.
About the memoir
:
"From Chicken to Eagle
was not just a river adventure the seven of us took in 1979 - it was the adventure of our lives! In our seven memoir chapters, we write about applying the lessons we learned on the river as we moved into new and unknown territory, whether outdoors, in our careers, or our personal lives. As women nationwide were expanding their roles in society, we grew stronger and more capable. If we had let society keep us confined to the roles of our mothers' generation, we would not have this book today.
Undertaking the writing of this memoir was another grand adventure for all seven of us. Join us in exploring how outdoor adventure and working together can shape people's lives."
