Brown Bag Book Club: The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander

A librarian-led book discussion. Newcomers welcome. A supply of the book to be discussed is available to borrow from the first floor hold shelf. Drop in. 

This month's book is The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander by Denny S. Bryce.

The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander refers to the highly publicized annulment case of Alice Jones Rhinelander, a woman of mixed race, against her wealthy white husband, Leonard "Kip" Rhinelander, which took place in New Rochelle, New York, and became a major legal scandal in the 1920s due to its focus on race, class, and the complexities of marriage at the time.
