Doug Moe

One of Madison’s most beloved journalists has written books about everyone from local philanthropists Irwin A. and Robert D. Goodman to celebrated newspaper columnist Mike Royko. Doug Moe's latest — released at the end of Women’s History Month — explores the life of Kit Saunders-Nordeen, the first director of women’s athletics at the University of Wisconsin. Her tenure began in 1974 (two years after the passage of Title IX, the landmark gender-equity law) and lasted until she retired in 1990 (the year a women’s volleyball match in Madison drew nearly 11,000 fans). Moe will discuss The Right Thing to Do, published by Milwaukee’s Henschel HAUS, with Isthmus contributor Jane Burns. This event will be in-person at Mystery to Me on Monroe Street!
