Woc

[close] A group for women of color who enjoy Anime, manga, cosplay, gaming, comics, and READING! A place where we hope to promote and find books written by WOC or that have a WOC protagonist!

[close] Mrs. Wnek's 8th Block Written & Oral Communication class (Freshman English) will foster our love of reading by participating in this group throughout the school year. We will add books we have read, are currently reading, and want to read to our personal bookshelves. We will update our reading progress on a daily basis. We will also recommend books we enjoyed reading to our classmates/fellow group members by participating in quarterly book reviews, book talks, and/or other independent reading activities. Long story short, we will have fun reading books we actually WANT to read!

[close] We hear about the gender gap all the time — in pay, in computing and science fields, in leadership. But one gender gap we don’t hear about as often is the literary gender gap. Female authors are much less likely than male authors to have their books reviewed in major publications like the New York Times and Harper’s Magazine. The American Association of University Women (AAUW)’s commitment to intersectionality and looking at women’s issues through various lenses has enabled our book club to move forward (¡Adelante!) for more than 20 years. Read with us as we spotlight engrossing stories and powerful writing by women from all backgrounds. Sign up to be the first to know about upcoming author discussions and listen to a few from last year.

[close] Our primary focus is on womyn authors in horror, sci-fi/fantasy, and paranormal. Every month we will offer up to two books, including (at least) one by a WoC.
