The Second Sex Reading Session

Join us for our first gathering as we dive into "The Mother" chapter from Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. We'll read this powerful text aloud together—one person reading while others follow along in their copies—taking our time to absorb de Beauvoir's insights about motherhood, society, and women's experiences.

This is about slow, careful engagement with important ideas. We'll pause for organic discussions, ask questions, and sit with the discomfort that comes from encountering brilliant analysis of systems we're all embedded in. Come prepared to listen, think, and examine your own biases in a supportive environment.

What to bring: If you have your own copy of The Second Sex, bring it along! If not, no worries—I'll share a PDF of "The Mother" chapter so everyone can follow along.
