UPCOMING EVENTS:

Upcoming Selections!

Thursday, December 11 @ 7 PM

Join us for a discussion on Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy.

After being unjustly committed to a mental institution, Connie Ramos is contacted by an envoy from the year 2137, who shows her a utopian future of sexual and racial equality and environmental harmony. But Connie also bears witness to another potential outcome: a dystopian society of grotesque exploitation. One will become our world. And Connie herself may strike the decisive blow... 1976; 376 pages.

Read with Pride - Panel Discussion Authors - June 12
