[Smashpatriarchy] reading group: caliban and the witch and conquest

Wed Jul 24 11:22:46 EDT 2013

Hey folks,

I'm really excited about doing some reading! I have rotating days off where I work for two day shifts followed by two nights then have five days off so it doesn't really matter what day we meet on for me. However, the evening after 730 whichever day will slightly increase the chances of me being able to attend.  I need about three weeks to read whichever book we choose.
