[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] Held once a month for one year. A queer bookclub with a WOC focus. Also allows some straight people and some white people on a case-by-case basis. We will read queer stuff and not-queer stuff and YA fiction. (WOC/QPOC/queer/female-identified authors only, preferentially in that order.) THE NO FLY LIST - Cis white bros or bros by any other name - Tone policers - Racists - Sexists - Misogynists (misandrists welcome) - Microaggressionists - Homophobes - Transphobes - Ephebiphobes - Lizard Kings Anyone caught being any of the above will be dismissed immediately.
