Please join the Sawyer Free Library on Saturday, November 9 at 2:30 pm for an author talk with Melissa Ludtke, who will be discussing her book, Locker Room Talk: A Woman’s Struggle to Get Inside, her gripping account of being at the core of this globally covered case that churned up ugly prejudices about the place of women in sports. Joining her in the conversation will be fellow local author of The Tigerbelles, Aime Card.
The event is being presented with the Bookstore of Gloucester who will be selling copies of Melissa’s book. No registration is required. If you have questions, please call the Library at 978-325-5500.
About Locker Room Talk:
“Locker Room Talk: A Woman’s Struggle to Get Inside,” to be published by Rutgers University Press, Melissa Ludtke describes what it was like to be the 26-year old woman swept up by the societal hurricane spinning around her lawsuit against Major League Baseball. Living in the bulls-eye of sexist commentary exacted a high emotional toll on her, as those who wanted to protect the well-fortified bastion of male privilege argued against Ludtke’s legal claim, often by mocking her. To them, she was a terrifying symbol of women’s liberation during a time of revolutionary change in women’s lives. Still, Melissa’s legal case carved pathways which generations of girls followed.
About the Author:
In her award-winning journalism career, Melissa Ludtke reported at Sports Illustrated, was a correspondent at Time, and the editor of Nieman Reports at Harvard University’s Nieman Foundation for Journalism. Her lifelong engagement with issues revolving around girls and women’s lives led her to write two books, “On Our Own: Unmarried Motherhood in America,” and “Touching Home in China: in search of missing girlhoods.” In “Locker Room Talk: A Woman’s Struggle to Get Inside,” her upcoming memoir, Melissa revisits her federal lawsuit, Ludtke v. Kuhn, which in 1978 secured equal access for women sports reporters. This meant women could interview players, coaches and the manager in the locker room, as male reporters had done for decades. She is a graduate of Wellesley College and lives in Cambridge, MA with her college-aged daughter, Maya.

With Maureen Aylward from TownGreen and Sam Cleaves from the City’s Clean Energy Commission talking about the Community Electricity Aggregation program.
I personally opted for the cheapest rate, Gloucester Basic for our household.
You’re crazy not to lock in this very inexpensive rate compared to everything else I’ve found out there.
Community Electricity Aggregation
Gloucester Community Electricity Aggregation (CEA) is an electricity supply program organized by the City of Gloucester. With Gloucester CEA, National Grid continues to deliver electricity, repair poles and outages and manage all electricity billing. The only change is the source and options for your electricity supply. By visiting the Gloucester CEA website, residents, business owners, and other ratepayers can:
Learn how the program works;
Get current information on program rates and how they compare to National Grid’s Basic Service rates;
Easily enroll in one of Gloucester CEA options or leave the program;
Read the aggregation plan and other program documents;
Learn about the benefits of supporting renewable energy generation.
Please keep in mind that future savings cannot be guaranteed because National Grid Basic Service rates change every six months for residential and commercial customers and every three months for industrial customers. Eligible customers will receive a Customer Notification letter detailing the program and, for those who choose to, ways to leave the program (opt out); those who choose not to opt out will be automatically enrolled. Customers who have chosen a third-party supplier are not eligible for automatic enrollment and will not receive an opt-out package. They can join the program voluntarily at any time, however, they may be subject to penalties or early termination fees from the third-party supplier if they switch to the electricity aggregation program during the term of their contract with their chosen supplier.
PROTECT YOUR NATIONAL GRID ACCOUNT NUMBER. No one should ever come to your door or call unsolicited and ask for your National Grid account number, or to see your bill. It is strongly recommend that Gloucester residents periodically check the Supply section of a recent National Grid electricity bill to ensure that they are fully informed of their electricity supplier and current service rate.
