This exhibit showcases the best representations of Pearl Buck’s personal style through her intact collection of American and Asian fashion, jewelry, shoes, handbags, hand fans, gloves, and associated archival material. A woman well ahead of her time, Ms. Buck had a distinctive style. She had the opportunity to live in two very different cultures and carefully chose clothing and accessories to represent the two halves of herself and her life. The fashions exhibited will also be used as the vehicle to tell the story of Pearl S. Buck International’s work and impact since 1964.

Memoir Writing Class: Writing Ourselves, Finding Our Truth
2024-04-08 19:00 - 21:00 | Online
In her autobiography My Several Worlds: A Personal Record, Pearl Buck wrote “… there is no such condition in human affairs as absolute truth. There is only truth as people see it, and truth, even in fact, may be kaleidoscopic in its variety.”
Find your own personal truth in this Zoom class as we write the stories of our lives for publication, for our families and for ourselves. Whatever your goal, you will learn to write with purpose and clarity and organize your life experiences for sharing or safekeeping.
Facilitated by longtime PSBI instructor, Linda C. Wisniewski, the class will run for six consecutive weeks. Each class will cover a topic related to memoirs and include short readings from modern memoirs, time for writing, and feedback. Wisniewski is a former journalist who has published a memoir, Off Kilter, and Where the Stork Flies, a novel based on her ancestry, as well as many personal essays and feature stories. www.lindawis.com.
