Please invite students in your courses to join the Women and Gender Book Club. The first book we will read is Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman, by Lindy West. Ms. West, a feminist writer, addresses topics in a humorous and insightful manner, including fat stigma, comedians who tell rape jokes, and fighting back against Internet trolls. Copies of the book are available to student participants for only $5.

The book club will meet three times during the semester on Friday afternoons to discuss the books along with faculty from the women and gender studies program. Discussions will be fun and informal. The kick-off meeting will be on Friday, March 3, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. (room TBA). For more information or to sign up, please contact Jenn Hunt, associate professor of psychology, at huntjs@buffalostate.edu.
