Feminist Reading Group- Beloved

Join us for a Feminist Reading Group to celebrate Women’s History Month in March!

A reading group is a little more structured than a book club but way more relaxed than a class. For this special three-week series we’ll be looking at the Women of Toni Morrison, discussing:

• Recitatif on Monday, March 3;
• Sula on Monday, March 10; and
• Beloved on Monday, March 17.

All sessions start at 7pm! You can attend just one or two sessions, but you’ll get the most out of attending all three so we can dive deep into the theme of feminism across these three incredible books.

Old Town Books' Feminist Reading Group is free and open to the public. While buying the book at OTB is not required to attend, we would greatly appreciate it to help keep our free literary programming sustainable! Buy your copy of Beloved at the shop or online and note "reading group" to get 10% off.

By attending any and all Old Town Books events you are agreeing to our code of conduct.

Old Town Books is committed to creating accessible events and spaces for the widest possible audience. Please reach out to us at [email protected] for reasonable accessibility accommodations.

About the book:

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A spellbinding novel that transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. With a new afterword by the author.
This "brutally powerful, mesmerizing story” (People) is an unflinchingly look into the abyss of slavery, from the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner.
Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. Sethe has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.
