This group explores intersectional feminism through readings and discussion of five timely topics: Creation, Care, Computation, Climate and Community. Presented in partnership with YWCA Princeton.
This group brings members of the Princeton community together to read, analyze and chat about contemporary feminist texts through the lens of five topics: creation, care, computation, climate, and community. We'll also get meta and explore the fascinating literary and cultural history of book discussion groups, which have long served as spaces where women and other marginalized groups have found connection, fostered discoveries about themselves and others, and kindled political and social activism. Check out the booklist for this series to find out what we'll be reading at each meeting.
We welcome women–trans and cis–and non-binary and gender non-conforming folks, as well as allies of all genders.
For this meeting the group will read Elena Ferrante's "In the Margins," as well as two short articles by Kristin Hunt and by M. Milks about the radical history of book clubs. Copies of the book have been made available for borrowing from the library.
This booklist shows the titles to be read for the first meeting on Oct. 21 and the second meeting on Dec. 9, as well as further titles under consideration for the group.
Representatives from YWCA Princeton will be present to share information for those interested about the Newcomers & Friends at YWCA, which for 65 years has welcomed people to our community from around the world, nation and state. The Newcomers come from all over the country to find belonging in togetherness in Princeton. Members are encouraged to “bloom where they are planted” and find home in Princeton!
