The Bad Feminist Readings is a feminist reading of not-so-feminist titles from our personal paperback collections. Spanning nearly 100 years worth of popular reading material, these books were produced with women in mind. With titles like How to be a More Interesting Woman and Corporate Gamesmenship for Women, these books offer opportunities into how to turn really bad advice into good advice. 7 NYC feminists will take the stage to talk about their reaction to the books and to read highlights of their favorite titles to the audience.

DJs Mikey IQ (Other Music) and Laura Kunkel (The Ecstatic Static) will bring you the sounds of yeye girls from around the world. Come out to laugh about how far we've come and think a little more about how far we still have to go.

See you there!

He is tied metaphysically to two doomed Islands...Long Island & Sicily, and two doomed cities...Palermo & New York. He is a fan of Soccer, Socialism and the Holy Ghost. When he is not fashioning constructs from Europe's trash, he is occasionally teaching at a Community College.

In fact, she is currently working on a project titled OPEN CEREMONY, presented by Trust Art.

To quote the 1988 movie Working Girl, she's got a "...mind for business, and a bod for sin."
