Author Kathleen Gonzalez delves into the beauty women create, and presents her new book, A Beautiful Woman in Venice, at this lecture event that surrounds the untold stories of women who shaped the majestic city of Venice. She’ll move through the centuries to discuss women of various backgrounds: a grand lady, mirror merchant, singer, educator, cloistered nun, and artists working in pastel, pen and ink, glass, and thread — all of whom contributed their feminine perspectives, creativity, and insights to Venetian culture.
