READING – P. Pan Et Al. by Danielle Frimer

A hundred years ago, the famous and famously private Maude Adams—whose name was synonymous with the iconic role written for her by J.M. Barrie—retired from the stage to upstate New York… where she stumbled into an unexpected second act.

Follow Adams as she corrals a team of General Electric engineers and inventors to design a lightbulb bright enough to capture film in color. P. Pan Et Al explores the complicated place of a queer woman in STEM before the term existed, and the peculiar power of the wizards and wizardesses who shape the technology that shapes us.
