HerStory: Women’s Issues Through Literature

Please join us in our monthly reading group. Books and discussions will include topics that revolve around women’s issues in society as perceived through literature. We will discuss the history of each concept and discuss how far women’s roles have changed in society over the years. Our discussions will be fun and lively with a chance to explore interesting topics and make new friends.

The book for July is Lab Girl by Hope Jahren.

Summary: A memoir by an award-winning paleobiologist traces her childhood in her father’s laboratory, her longtime relationship with a brilliant but wounded colleague and the remarkable discoveries they have made both in the lab and during extensive field research assignments.
