SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group (Rescheduled!)
DESCRIPTION:For this meeting we have chosen to read a philosophical novel rather than our usual diet of books and articles by philosophers. The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade (1857) was the last novel written by Herman Melville. A paperback copy of the book can be found for $6 – $14 new and less if used. An ebook costs only a few dollars. But best of all\, it is available on the Gutenberg Project for free. \nThe story is ostensibly about a con man who takes a steamboat down the Mississippi\, interacting with his marks; but\, of course\, it is much more than that. Just what else it is about is to be discovered at our next meeting. So be prepared to be enlightened\, challenged\, inspired\, amused\, and perhaps…fooled? Bring money.

SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will start talking about the book\, The Swerve (2012)\, by Stephen Greenblatt. You can find this book new in paperback for $12 – $17 and as an ebook for $10 – $12. For the 19th\, we will read through chapter five. The book is not without controversy. While it has been heaped with praise\, it has also been called simplistic\, lacking in historical rigor\, anti-religious\, and even unethical. Despite this\, it won both a Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award\, and it was on numerous lists of the year’s best books for some serious book review publications. \nHowever you may end up feeling about the book\, it should be a good read. And however you may feel about other members of the MISF History Study Group\, they really produce some good discussions.

SUMMARY:Minnesota Women: First in the Nation to Vote in 1920
DESCRIPTION:At 6 a.m. on the morning of August 27\, 1920\, the City of South St. Paul held the very first election conducted on the day following ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granting women the right to vote. The identity of the first woman to cast a ballot will be discussed as will the history of suffrage across the nation and in Minnesota for the seventy-plus years leading up to passage of the 19th Amendment. Lois Glewwe is from South St. Paul and believes that her own grandmother and three aunts voted on that important day. \nLois Glewwe is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and received her Master’s Degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of the published histories of South St. Paul\, West St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights\, Minnesota\, and is a contributing author in Minnesota’s Trail of Tears: The Beginning of the Dakota Exile in Minnesota. She has written several additional published works including A Brief History of South St. Paul\, published in 2015 by The History Press in South Carolina. Her stories of the first white and Dakota women in Minnesota are available online at DakotaSoulSisters.com where she has profiled approximately 20 women in Minnesota from 1835-1862. Lois is also an oral history transcriptionist for Barbara Sommer\, Kim Heikkila\, and the Minnesota Historical Society. She is currently under contract for a new book on Images of America: South St. Paul in Photos\, by Arcadia Press\, which will be out in December of 2021.
