Grosse Pointe Branch News During this past year, Grosse Pointe has held several movie showings about women’s history. The “Iron Jawed Angels and “Passing the Torch” were two that were shown. On May 6th, the author of “Three Cups of Tea”, Greg Mortenson, will be speaking in Grosse Pointe at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial. Greg was one of the keynote speakers at the AAUW National Convention in June 2007. His focus is building schools for girls in Afganistan and Pakistan. In March they sponsored a “Running and Winning” workshop in collaboration with the League of Women Voters. They have used women from other countries as speakers to bring in an international awareness, as well as speakers from the Birmingham branch.
