October 19, 2011: Women & Girls Speaking Through Time: Diary Writing—Program
Cornelia will once again be at the Sewall Belmont House and Museum in Washington D.C ,.offering a program on October 19th at noon.
For this program at the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum http://www.sewallbelmont.org Cornelia will be talking about diaries as a valuable repository of women’s and girl’s voices that speak to us through time, bringing vivid portraits of our histories (herstories). She will read excerpts from the diaries of ordinary and well-known girls and women from various time periods. Participants are asked to bring a paragraph to share from their own diaries or those of women in their families.
Cornelia is writing Volume 146 of a diary which she has kept for thirty years. Her volumes are being archived at the Schlesinger Library on the HIstory of Women in America http://www.radcliffe.edu/schlesinger_library.aspx. See “Through My Eyes” for her description of “Life in the Archives.”
Cornelia Visits Walnut Hills High School Classes & Reads from MISSING at Joseph-Beth Booksellers
Cincinnati bound! Cornelia returned to her Alma Mater, Walnut HIlls High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, to talk about writing.
A bright morning in Cincinnati as students head to Walnut HIlls High School, where Cornelia was a member of the Class of 1964. She’d been invited to talk with the classes of teachers Blake Taylor, Dawn Wolfe, and Samantha Gerwe-Perkins—AP English, Creative Writing, and News. 
“If you want to write creatively, read, read, read. And keep a diary or journal in which you can freely write whatever you want. Get a lock and key so you can keep your writing all to yourself. Each of us has our very own way of looking at the world, and our very own stories to tell,” Cornelia commented.
She later visited her childhood public library, discovering in the lower floor the plaque which was there when she was young.
On Tuesday evening, some of Cornelia’s classmates from Walnut HIlls came to Joseph-Beth to hear her read from her memoir, MISSING, and to hear about her children’s books. Joseph-Beth is a beautiful independent bookstore.
