I am interested in forming a "women's literature" reading group
in the Worcester area.
At this point, it is just an idea but I thought it could be modeled
after such a group that an acquaintance belongs to in the Framingham
area.
I believe she said they have 12 members, though only about 3/4
of them make it to any one meeting. The meetings are held once
a month and the members take turns hosting it (i.e., they provide
the house/apt. and refreshments). This group eventually decided to
hire a local professor to lead the discussion. They found it was too
easy to go off track otherwise and have found the cost to be
worthwhile.
They are "assigned" one book each month to read, and the books vary
from novels to plays to poetry, from current best-sellers to bona
fide classics. What they have in common is that they provide plenty
of material for discussion--about the content in general and about
the portrayal of women in general.
Irene said she always finds the discussion stimulating and fun.
This group has been together for years, and I have the book list
they've developed over that time.
If there is any interest, please let me know.

Yes, I'm interested. Sounds like fun. I love to read, but I find
too many excuses not to take the time.

Up here in Nashua, we've also recently started a women's reading
group (developed through our local networking group, the Nashua
Women's Network.) I would be interested to see your reading list,
if you wouldn't mind sharing it. (Send it through mail if you don't
want to post it here.)
Any women in the greater Nashua (New Hampshire) area that are
interested in the reading group, get in touch with me for more
information.

Is this note still active? Is the reading group active? Is there
any room left?
(I tried replying to GIGI::TRACY, but didn't succeed.)
