To kick off Women’s History Month at 5:30 p.m. March 2, the Truckee Library will feature local author Leticia Aguilar and co-author Eve Quesnel and their book, Leaving Patriarchy Behind.

The book is Aguilar’s story of growing up in the 1960s in a patriarchal Mexican culture as one 14 girls in a family of 18 children. Despite being told of her shortcomings as a woman, she gained independence and migrated to the United States in the 1970s. Aguilar shares stories about how she came into her own and inspired countless women in the process.

Truckee locals may know Aguilar as Lety, the owner of Lety’s Preschool, a Spanish immersion program for 2 to 5-year-olds that has been operating for over 25 years.
