Join the staff of the Women's Resources Center as part of the 2024 Ecojustice Series as we discuss "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler. Parable of the Sower is a dystopian novel that depicts a future United States struggling with socio-economic inequality, racism, and classism. Butler describes the book as a cautionary tale that comments on what American society might look like if we don't change. 

Please be aware that this novel contains allusions to sexual violence, torture, and other forms of violence. We encourage participants to prioritize their self care and feel free to stop reading at any point. 

Book Club will take place at the Women's Resources Center on Thursday, October 3, from 4:00-5:00pm (616 E Green Street Suite 213). 

Limited copies of the book are available on a first come, first serve basis by request.
