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

Thu Jul 25 12:16:48 EDT 2013

I think conquest might be a better book to get us started.  I've ordered 4
copies into Spartacus books.  Hope that's alright with folks.  I think it
would be ideal to have the call out than 4-6 have our first open reading
group sometime in September.

One question however: how do folks feel about there already be a somewhat
active feminist book club already?  I like the idea of it being a SAP
reading group meaning predominantly men.  But it might be a good idea to
check in with the already existing feminist book club to see what their
thoughts are?

love
Peter

PS I'd love to see all of you sooner that September if that works for
folks.
