The Phoenix Book Club, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults of all ages, will meet virtually on Monday, April 12, at 7:00 PM. The group will discuss “The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote” by Elaine Weiss. American women are so close to winning the right to vote – all they need is one more state. Nashville becomes a bitter battleground for both sides – the suffragists led by Carrie Catt, Sue White and Alice Paul, and the Antis, the women who don’t want women to have the right to vote. It’s really a battle over the role of women in society. A physical copy of the book may be reserved at https://catalog.ccls.org. An eBook copy may be reserved at https://chester.overdrive.com. This event is free and open to the public and will be held online/by phone via Zoom.

She assists patients in transitioning to a whole food plant-based diet in order to reduce inflammation, to alleviate the need for many medications, and to help prevent or treat a wide variety of chronic medical conditions. She is the senior faculty member at the Crozer Family Practice Residency in Springfield, PA, and has served as Faculty Preceptor since 1996. Dr. Negron is a member of the National Advisory Board for Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. She has since 1999 also volunteered in practicing at clinics for the uninsured and underserved, and has long served on the board of directors of the Phoenixville Clinic. Her book, Nourishing the Body and Recovering Health: The Positive Science of Food, published by Sunstone Press, emphasizes alternatives to society’s reliance on pharmaceuticals in attempting to address health problems. Dr. Negron has received a Champion of the Community Award, a Community Betterment Award and a Phoenixville Chamber of Commerce Leadership Award. This event is free and open to the public and will take place online via Zoom.
