Hmm.. Child of the 80s Book Club.  What does that mean?!  Do we have Judd Nelson over for poetry readings?  Is it necessary to wear black spangly bracelets and quote Madonna?  Do we choose to read the biographies of John Hughes and Joy Division? No! "Child of the 80s" is more a time frame state-of-mind. In other words a) you want to read great books that open you up to new ideas/literature/feelings/art; b) you enjoy diverse people; c) you are somewhere between post-college and Medicare (although …

Let's get together and read feminist literature. Or read comic books and talk about gender roles. Or drink feminist cocktails and talk about the portrayal of women in novels. I recently moved to Madison and miss feminist and pro-feminist companionship, and I figure there are others out there in the same situation. The simplest way to do this is probably a feminist book club, so that is the rough idea, but we can branch out from there!

Unlike most meetup groups, this one does not specialize in any one activity. Rather, the aim is to serve as "one stop shopping" for a whole universe of opportunities to get out of the house, DO something that moves the body, brain, and/or soul, and, especially, meet interesting and active people from all walks of life. Examples could include anything from picnics, kayak outings on Lake Wingra, moderate bike rides, and nature walks in the Arboretum to potluck dinners, pubs, and local live musi …
