;X-APPLE-RADIUS=10;X-TITLE=Virtual:geo:38 .8122835,-77.1171899 GEO:38.8122835;-77.1171899 DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Pride Month by joining us for a discussion of Maia K obabe's 2019 banned graphic novel. .\nhttps://alexandria.libnet.info/event /10822111 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:In 2014\, Maia Kobabe\, who uses e/em/eir pronouns\, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last au tobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time\, it was the only thi ng e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now\, "Gender Queer " is here. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity\, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolesce nt crushes\, grappling with how to come out to family and society\, bondin g with friends over erotic gay fanfiction\, and facing the trauma of pap s mears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbi nary and asexual\, "Gender Queer" is more than a personal story: it is a u seful and touching guide on gender identity&mdash\;what it means and how t o think about it&mdash\;for advocates\, friends\, and humans everywhere.\n
The Diversity Book Club is hosted monthly by AAUW Alexandria / Wome n Building Cross-Cultural Friendships (WBCCF) and co-sponsored by the Alex andria Burke Branch Library.
\nWBCCF's goal is to give women the opp ortunity in a diverse and inclusive group to enrich their own lives throug h these relationships and help amplify the voices of all women in our comm unity. WBCCF \;believes that the opportunity to come together to explo re issues of race\, religion\, ethnicity\, etc. through well-chosen books will not only further our individual learning but also create a setting in which we might ultimately decide on a community undertaking with wider im plications.
\nThe Diversity Book Club meets on the second Monday of each month at 7 PM. Please note that the group will meet on the third Mond ay of this month. \;
\nThis program will take place by Zoom and registration is required. After registering with Bonnie Hershberg\, you wi ll be emailed the link to join this Zoom meeting. \;
