What we’re about
About a year and a half ago, I saw this book group called the Middle Aged Women's Punk Rock Book Club Meetup and I thought, "Well, that's fabulous!" And then I thought, "I want to join!"
I was a saxophone player in a former life and I think I qualify as middle-aged (although some days I feel older and, some days, younger). I didn't start this group; it began about two or three organizers ago. But I did step in at a certain point in time to organize the group and here I am!
So far we've read some really fascinating books -- with fierce female characters. We've read books by feminist writers from all parts of society. In the past year or so we've read Octavia Butler, Audrey Schulman, Madeline Miller, Lucia Berlin, Willy Vlautin, Mesha Maren, Lida Yuknavitch and Miranda July. Writers who are courageous, who are unflinchingly honest, who tell the stories they want told.
I can't wait to read more and to meet you!
Thank you for joining us!
