Kathy KennyKathy is a retired librarian whose deep love of books, history and antique quilts has led her to a second career as a quilt historian, educator and lecturer. Her extensive vintage antique quilt collection allows her to enhance the different periods o America's history for her audiences and give them a closer, more hands-on approach to learning about various events in our nation's history, such as the story of tea and tea rooms during the years of the women's suffrage movement. She has been featured in several magazines and been the featured speaker for a vast number of historical societies and women's groups from Maine to Colorado. Presenting a bit of history from a woman's perspective in this, her first book, reflects her many years of collecting stories of historical interest.
