Feminist Book Club Meetings
In fall 2010, we started an SWS feminist reading group. About twice a semester, we select a book to read (typically nonfiction books by feminists) and the meeting focuses on discussion of the book. These meetings have been smaller in size than our general SWS meetings, but lots of fun. We encourage anyone who is interested to attend, even if you don't read the whole book.
