Intersectional Feminist Book Club

A multimedia book club exploring, growing, and discussing together. Let the unlearning begin!

Book Discussions are held once a month, and all members are expected to come having read most (if not all) of the chosen text. Media Meetups occur as needed and desired, allowing us to enjoy other forms of content, including TEDTalks, podcasts, slam poetry, and more. These more informal gatherings require no preparation: just show up ready to absorb and discuss!

Please view our archives below to see what we’ve read and discussed in the past!
