Melissa Jayne Fawcett, curator of the Mohegan Tribe Museum in Connecticut, was one of several female leaders on Tuesday who encouraged young women in the state to explore their leadership skills through literature.

Fawcett told 101 sixth-grade girls who attended the Leadership through Literature Conference at Connecticut College's Center at Crozier William yesterday of the importance of paying attention to their elders and recording their stories. Fawcett did just that and wrote a book about her 101-year-old grandmother, Gladys Tantaquidgeon.
