August Gals Evolving Bookclub (Last Thursday of Aug)
August 29 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$15.00
The CBR Gals Network presents the Gals Evolving bookclub at Queenies Kingston. Gals Evolving is a feminist book club that provides a safe space for gals to grow, learn, share ideas and become fuller versions of themselves. Join us over nibbles and drinks for thoughtful conversation, introspection and laughs with some like-minded gals.
This month, the book choice is Praiseworthy by Alexis Wright.
Content Warning: “Praiseworthy” contains trigger warnings for racism, cultural discrimination, mental health issues, environmental and climate disaster themes, and depictions of animal cruelty and economic exploitation.
“Praiseworthy” by Alexis Wright is a genre-defying epic set in northern Australia, addressing themes of cultural survival, climate catastrophe, and systemic injustice through the intertwined stories of an Indigenous family navigating the challenges of a world on the brink of collapse. With rich, poetic language and sharp political satire, Wright’s novel is both a poignant critique of contemporary issues and a celebration of resilience and hope.
The cost of this event covers food. Drinks will be available for purchase.
Join us for our Gals Evolving bookclub at Queenies Kingston from 6 to 8:30 PM.
About this Event
FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? All ages are welcome to attend. Our age ranges typically from 19 – 65. Must be 18+ to drink alcoholic beverages.
What are the conditions of the Gals Evolving Book Club?
Membership and attendance is free, but each event costs $15 to cover the cost of nibbles. Additionally, becoming a member is a monthly commitment. To become a member, attendees must:
- Attend three consecutive monthly meetings, to be held on the last Thursday of each month at a central location.
- Note: After becoming a member, attendance is required at two of every three meetings. We think it’s important for gals to consistently attend meetings in order to form close relationships with other members.
- Come to each meeting well-versed in the chosen book. Gals can “read” the book in whatever format you want, just come ready to chat about the book.
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? There is plenty of parking but we recommend rideshare or carpool!
