The Feminist Book Club with Kate Feld

House of Books & Friends are delighted to announce that we are hosting the Feminist Book Club with facilitator Kate Feld. Taking place monthly, this will be a space for people of all genders to discuss feminist books. In July, we will be discussing Indelicacy by Amina Cain.

Tickets for this event are now sold out. Feminist book club returns on the third Wednesday of each month (August 20th)

About the book:

In an undefined era and place, a cleaning woman at a museum of art aspires to do more than simply dust the paintings around her.  She dreams of having the liberty to explore them in writing, and so must find the way to win herself the security and time to use her mind. She escapes her lot by marrying a rich man, but having gained a husband, a house, high society and a maid, she finds that her new life of privilege is no less constrained. Not only has she taken up different forms of time-consuming labour — social and erotic — but she is now, however passively, forcing other women to clean up after her. Perhaps another and more drastic solution is necessary?
