Mainstream feminist movements have often focused on increasing privilege for the few (often white, cis, and/or heterosexual women) and ignoring the basic survival needs of many women in marginalized communities.
Event Date: Friday, November 19th, 4:30-5:30pm
Event Location: TBD
Join us in educating ourselves about the diverse feminist needs by reading and discussing Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall for GWAN’s Fall Book Club! GWAN will purchase copies from Bookends and Beginnings, an independent bookstore in Evanston, in support of this awesome local business. Please RSVP before Oct 18 to pick up your FREE copy of the book and attend our discussion. Copies can be picked up on both Evanston and Chicago campuses between Oct 18 and Nov 5. We only have a limited number of copies, and they will be provided on a first-come-first-serve basis.
