ABOUT
the reading group

An open reading project exploring the work of women writers and the subjective female voice.

“Because I'm moved in writing to be irrepressible. Writing to you seems like some holy cause, cause there's not enough female irrepressibility written down. I've fused my silence and repression with the entire female gender's silence and repression. I think the sheer fact of women talking, being, paradoxical, inexplicable, flip, self-destructive but above all else public is the most revolutionary thing in the world.”
Chris Kraus, I Love Dick

“My father predicted everything when he said I would procrastinate until I died.”
Jane Bowles

Meeting every 6-8 weeks the reading group, hosted by The Northern Charter, will examine text, film and performance that explores a radical, frequently subjective, female voice.
