Dakota’s Shadow Society: Women’s Secret Book Club Under Scrutiny?

December 5, 1912, Mitchell, Dakota – In a twist of fate, a gathering of influential women at the University of Dakota has raised eyebrows in the small town of Mitchell. The event, attended by esteemed figures including Dr. Seaman, president of Dakota, and Mayor Hitchcock, president of the state board of regents, seemed innocent enough – a celebration of women’s contributions to public improvement and a thank-you to the Mitchell club women for their support of the local library.
