Empress SF Book Club Event | The Presidio

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Experience something new: part book club, part graduate seminar, part Parisian salon. Presidio Book Club is an inclusive gathering that anyone can take part in, whether or not they’ve read the book. Led by Presidio Trust historian Barbara Berglund.

The Panama-Pacific International Exposition encapsulated the social and political tensions and conflicts of pre–World War I California. Fair organizers generated heated debate and conflict in how they defined who and what represented San Francisco, California, and the United States. Focusing on the influence exerted by women, Asians, Asian Americans, and working-class labor unions, Markwyn offers a unique analysis both of this world’s fair and the society of the time.
