Alina Fernandez, the daughter of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, will speak Wednesday at St. Charles Community College during Women’s History Month.

The event, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Social Sciences Building on the college’s campus at 4601 Mid Rivers Mall Drive in Cottleville.

Fernandez will speak about her life, and the history and future of Cuba. She will talk about her experiences as a child growing up in Cuba, and will reflect on the country’s politics. Fernandez now resides in the United States.

Fernandez’s story, “Castro’s Daughter: An Exile’s Memoir of Cuba,” was published in 1998 by St. Martin’s Press.
