The Hailey Public Library will host “Reflections on Annie Pike Greenwood,” a virtual presentation by Idaho Public Television producer and documentarian Marcia Franklin, on Thursday, Nov. 4, at 5:30 p.m. In 1934 Greenwood wrote “We Sagebrush Folks” which vividly documented early rural life in Idaho from a woman’s perspective.
“She was a woman ahead of her time, writing with wit and honesty about social and political topics, including those that personally affected women in her community,” said HPL programs and engagement manager Kristin Fletcher.
