The Feminist Book Club reads and discusses feminism. We make no claims to any particular feminist platform. Rather, we rely on feminism(s). We read theoretical texts, literature and primary works. All are welcome regardless of gender, political persuasion, and familiarity. We meet on the first Sunday each month.

For more information, email feministbookclubnyc@gmail.com.

This month’s book (available at Bluestockings) is “Queer (In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States” by Joey Mogul, Andrea Ritchie and Kay Whitlock.

Why has love become an assault course? Why do women and men feel under seige from notions of how we love and how to love from self-styled experts, comedians on the small screen & the airwaves? What if we chose to hear one another, share journeys, authentic truths, our personal lessons in love from our worlds, and tried again to be willing spirits.
