Fiction and non-fiction selections that are by, for and about women.
The Women's Studies Reading Group meets the first Thursday of every month from 6:30-8 pm online until we are able to meet in person.
If you enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction selections that are by, for and about women, reading about different cultures and historical perspectives, and being introduced to new authors, new ideas and new friends, please join us. New group members are always welcome!
