Womens Studies

[close] The Young Women's Committee of the Coalition of Labor Union Women (YWC/CLUW) in Philadelphia has created a book exchange so we can share and discuss books that have helped shaped us on feminism, the labor movement, history, and theory.

[close] Este Club de Lectura es un lugar para que #LeamosJuntos mes con mes, a partir del diálogo y la discusión de nuestras lecturas colectivas en las que figuran libros escritos por autoras, fenómenos y problemáticas a los que nos enfrentamos las  mujeres día con día, biografías e historias de mujeres inspiradoras, así como aquellos libros que tienen poderosas herramientas para potenciar y liberar nuestro máximo potencial.

[close] Silence and complacency normalize unjust systems. To create change, we must actively work in solidarity with all people who seek justice. That means taking on the responsibility of educating ourselves and having difficult conversations about injustice — in all its forms. Echoing those calls to action, we invite you to join us in educating ourselves by listening to the voices and perspectives of people that are often unheard or misunderstood — the voices that represent issues critical to Mary’s Pence grantees and ESPERA women. From the 12 books selected for our 2020 Summer Reading List, we are choosing a handful to discuss online in the coming months. We invite everyone who wants to participate in the conversations to join us for our online discussions. One of the first steps we can take to end the silence and complacency of normalizing unjust systems is opening a book and turning the page. We look forward to learning and changing alongside you.

[close] Imagine the things we could achieve if feminism was always at the forefront of our minds. This group will read books that help us explore feminism and grow with it.
