Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author's exploration of what it means to be a woman now--and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists. Come as you are and no prior knowledge is required! Feel free to come even if you don’t read the book! More directions below on how else you can engage. While this book club was made with the intention to create space for graduate students, all are welcome! The book club will be facilitated by GIC’s graduate assistants: Mary Ann and Amy. We use the word “facilitated” loosely because we hope to make this an environment rooted in open conversation and not bound by academic structure. WHERE TO BUY THE BOOK: Consider buying from Black-owned book stores in Philadelphia! Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee and Books Harriett’s Bookshop Other: Amazon If you don’t want to buy the book, no problem! Feel free to come as you are and just join in on the conversation or if you want to (but not required) you can watch this TedXTalk from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie herself on the same topic (see video below):
