Bring your ideas and help them create a book that provides inspirational options for a wide-range of situations: from transgender friends filling out census forms to educational materials for therapists working with transsexual folks.

Feminist Book Club: Serrano’s “Whipping Girl”
The Feminist Book Club reads and discusses feminism. We make no claim about what feminism is or whom it serves, and are not a forum for any particular feminist platform. Rather, we rely on feminism(s). We read theoretical texts, literature and primary works. We welcome all genders, political persuasions, and levels of familiarity. We meet monthly on the first Sunday. This month’s book (available at Bluestockings) is “Whipping Girl” by Julia Serrano.
