GGC Book Club- Staff: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman

The Galerstein Gender Center will be hosting and facilitating a monthly book club and will be reading the book "Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman". From celebrity gossip expert and Buzzfeed culture writer, Anne Helen Petersen, the book provides a provocative and analytical look at how women celebrities are pushing boundaries of what it means to be an "acceptable" woman. Petersen uses the lens of "unruliness" to explore the ascension of pop culture powerhouses like Lena Dunham, Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian, exploring why the public loves to love (and hate) these controversial figures.

The book club, exclusive to staff and faculty, will meet on Fridays, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. at the Galerstein Gender Center on the following dates: September 8, October 27, November 17, January 19, February 2, March 2. Take a break, bring your lunch and join the fun!

The book club will conclude with an on campus visit from Anne Helen Petersen on March 27, 2018. Members of the book club will get to attend the "Unruly Brunch with Anne Helen Petersen" on March 27, 2018.

We will be providing books (for free) to the first 10 book club registrants.
