Women in Utah History

The public is invited to a discussion with Eileen Stone on Women in Utah History, an event held by the American Association of University Women as part of the Utah Humanities Council's Public Square program. With thirty years of research, oral history interviewing and writing experience, Eileen Hallet Stone is a professional oral historian and award-winning author of over 200 articles on minority cultures, environmental issues, family dynamics, life challenges, and history. Working on a new novel, she has written two books on diversity published by university presses. Collected stories in A Homeland in the West: Utah Jews Remember were developed into a photo-documentary exhibit that was shown as part of the 2002 Winter Olympic Cultural Olympiad Arts Festival at the University of Utah Marriott Library. The exhibit travels statewide. Her earlier book, Missing Stories: An Oral History of Ethnic and Minority Groups in Utah, co-authored with Leslie Kelen, has added substantially to Utah’s educational curriculum. Hallet Stone also writes a monthly Living History column for The Salt Lake Tribune. Sponsered in part by the Utah Humanities Council.
