SUMMARY:Philosophy Book Club: Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin
DESCRIPTION:Join us this month as the Philosophy Book Club reads Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin\, a bold collection from one of the most controversial figures in modern feminist thought. Dworkin was a radical feminist writer and activist\, best known for her opposition to pornography and her unflinching critiques of male supremacy. A divisive figure during the feminist sex wars of the 1980s\, she was both vilified and admired for confronting sexual violence and systems of power. This collection brings together key works from across her career. Readers are invited to explore Dworkin’s legacy and the complex questions she raised about sex\, power\, and justice. Copies are available at the first-floor information desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Democracy in Our Time: A Discussion of Democracy Awakening
DESCRIPTION:This month\, we’ll discuss Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America by acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson.

Drawing on over 150 years of U.S. history from the Founding Fathers to the January 6 insurrection\, Richardson traces how political rhetoric\, misinformation\, and power struggles have shaped the nation’s trajectory. With the same accessible style that brings millions of readers to her newsletter Letters from an American\, she lays out where we’ve been\, how we got here\, and what’s at stake today. Copies of the book are available at the first-floor information desk. Please join us for this important conversation.
