The DEIAB Committee announces the book for this quarter's Book Club: bell hooks' Feminism is for Everybody. bell hooks is one of America's foremost literary thinkers. She died in 2021, having produced an incredible mass of writings on race, feminism, class, and belonging.
Feminism is for Everybody makes the case for a gender equality movement that is not about division, but is rooted in the wisdom of experience and common sense. Please join us at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET on Thursday, 5 December, for a discussion of the ideas in the book, feminism, and gender issues more broadly, and how we can promote gender equality as ombuds.
Even if you don't have time to read the book, please join us! Every IOA member and ombuds has ideas about gender and diversity that the rest of us are interested in hearing.
If you can't make the discussion and would like to schedule another time to chat about the book or otherwise have questions about the Book Club, please contact [email protected].
Looking forward to this! I'm buying the book now!
