Next Lecture:
Amy Dickinson: Ask Amy: A conversation with Amy Dickinson. March 21st and 22nd, 2012
Named in 2003 by the Chicago Tribune as successor to Ann Landers, Amy Dickinson writes a syndicated newspaper advice column, "Ask Amy". Her column appears in over 100 newspapers. She authored the New York Times bestseller, "Mighty Queens of Freeville", which draws from her childhood spent on a dairy farm and from her self-described "hilarious" family. Ms Dickinson's commentaries are also featured on NPR's "All things Considered". Her journalism career began at NBC's Washington bureau, but maybe Ms Dickinson's best insight for advice comes from her previous jobs - lounge singer, receptionist, and nursery school teacher.
Many of the club's events are reported in the Cincinnati Express where you can see event photos or read the current issue online.
