WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, June 17 at 2 pm, the Clark Art Institute hosts a book talk by Western Massachusetts' own Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop.

 

Alsop is the author of "Daughter of Spies: Wartime Secrets, Family Lies," a memoir that traces the shape of her parents' marriage from romantic wartime courtship in England to a life in Cold War Washington, D.C.

 

The event takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

 

Alsop's book tells a timely story about the pioneering women who helped win the war, the difficult choices they faced in postwar America, and the powerful effects of secrets. Winthrop speaks with Sara Houghteling, project assistant for the Clark's Research and Academic Program.
