SUMMARY:The Feminist Book Club with Kate Feld
DESCRIPTION: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 Space Crone by Ursula K. le Guin. The essays the discussion will focus on are: \n\nThe Space Crone\nIntroducing Myself\nIs Gender Necessary?\nRedux\nThe Fisherwoman’s Daughter\nBryn Mawr Commencement Address\n\nKate also suggests attendees watch Ursula’s speech at the National Book Awards found here. \nTickets\nBook and ticket: £13.99\nTicket only: £3 \nAs always\, there are a limited amount of complimentary tickets available for those who need them. Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597 365380. \nAbout the book \nUrsula K. Le Guin witnessed and contributed to many of the twentieth century’s rebellions and upheavals\, including women’s liberation\, the Civil Rights movement and US anti-war and environmental activism. Spanning fifty years of her life and work\, Space Crone brings together Le Guin’s writings on feminism and gender for the first time\, offering new insights into her imaginative\, multispecies feminist consciousness: from its roots in deep ecology and philosophies of non-violence to her self-education about racism and her writing on motherhood and ageing. \n \nAbout Kate \nKate Feld is a writer who grew up in in the U.S. state of Vermont and now lives outside Manchester\, UK. She writes poetry\, short fiction\, essays and prose that sits between forms. Her writing explores the natural world\, mythology and the unconscious\, often taking the form of lyric narratives that both interrogate and celebrate lived experience. Her work has been published widely in journals and anthologies including The Stinging Fly\, The Letters Page\, Hotel and Tolka. She is the founding editor of UK creative nonfiction journal and reading series The Real Story\, and lectures in Journalism at the University of Salford. Her chapbook of poetry and photography\, Deeryard\, is forthcoming from Death of Workers Whilst Building Skyscrapers.
