Feminist Book Club

Do you enjoy meeting other pro-choice minded folks and reading a good book?  Join our Feminist Book Club in the Cincinnati area.  Each month, book club members meet to discuss books related to women's health, reproductive rights and other feminist issues.  The Feminist Book Club meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the homes of members.  For a schedule, please email lbrockmeier@ppswo.org.  If you are interested in a Dayton book club, contact us!
