Carol Simon Levin is a professional storyteller and independent historian who specializes in telling the stories of "fascinating women history forgot" through first person portrayals. She is a NJ Council for the Humanities Public Scholar presenting "Reclaiming Our Voice: NJ's Role in the Fight for Woman Suffrage" which she has also published as an article in March 2020 issue of the Garden State Legacy. She has also authored the book Remembering the Ladies: From Patriots in Petticoats to Presidential Candidates which profiles 69 women — well-known and unknown — who worked tirelessly for women's rights in America. Carol holds a BA focusing on women's history and history of technology from Cornell University and a Masters in Library Services from the University of Arizona. She is also the founder of Telling Her Stories.
Whether she is impersonating the woman who helped to build the Brooklyn Bridge, telling the stories of early women in women's rights and aviation, engaging families in a rousing Halloween Hootenany of songs and stories, expanding on the mathematical and artistic possibilities of a simple square, or sharing the story of a dolphin who learned to swim with an artificial tail (along with activities to help children understand what it is like to live with a disability), she always strives to create exciting programs that engage audiences of all ages and expand their horizons.
For more information on any of her Telling Her Stories presentations, check out the website tellingherstories.com.
