WNBA-Charlotte hosted a public event entitled "Bookwomen Speak: The Centennial Visionary Series," highlighting the contributions of pioneering industry leaders in North and South Carolina. Led by Wanda Jewell, executive director of the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance, the discussion featured Emoke B'Racz, owner of Malaprop's Bookstore/Café in Asheville; Ina Stern, recently retired associate publisher at Algonquin Books; and Betsy Teter, executive director at Hub City Press, Hub City Writers Project and Hub City Bookshop. The program was part of a year-long celebration of the WNBA and its founding in 1917. Pictured: (l.-r.) Stern, Teter, Jewell and B'Racz.
