Our book club this month featured a rich selection of poetry readings, the coolest of which was the spoken word poetry of Suheir Hammad’s ZaatarDiva collection. Book clubbers read, listened to, and discussed different poems of resistance, identity politics, and resilience.

Our supportive friends and family members are very important to us, so we organized a Bring-A-Straight-Friend Meeting in July, after which attendees were invited to visit the Womyn House and discuss their own perspectives on the coming out process.

Our weekly book club kicked off this month with a reading from Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own followed by poetry from Cherrie Moraga and readings from the anthology This is What Lesbian Looks Like. Many interesting discussions are coming out of these inspiring texts! Join us every Monday at 5.30pm in the Meem Library for a weekly discussion and reading of a feminist or queer text.
