Morton Memorial Library Hosts Author Justine van der Leun: "Unreasonable Women"

Oblong Books presents Justine van der Leun, author of "Unreasonable Women: Three Stories of Violence, Imprisonment, and Extraordinary Survival," in conversation with Michelle Horton, at Morton Memorial Library.

A work of literary reportage that reads like a crime novel, "Unreasonable Women" is the result of seven years of unprecedented research and on-the-ground reporting on women being imprisoned for protecting themselves against abuse. It is a wake-up call about a broken system, and the moving narrative of three women who find hope and humanity in the unlikeliest of places.
