This month, FRG founder Eileen Ybarra will host a discussion of Shrill by Seattle-based writer, editor, and performer Lindy West. West’s work focuses on pop culture, social justice, humor, and body image. Shrill, her memoir, is a “witty and cathartic take on toxic misogyny and fat shaming. She comes to accept her body just as Internet trolls congregate en masse to try to rip this new confidence from her, but she’s rearing to fight back.” (NPR)

Eileen Ybarra is a Chicana feminist librarian who is passionate about books and feminist community. She is also a writer and mindfulness meditation instructor.

Feminist Reading Group is a long standing WCCW community program founded by Dawn Finley and Eileen Ybarra. The group has explored many themes — feminist histories, race, class, gender, space, sexuality, art-making, culture, creative practices, relationship, conflict, globalism, family, colonialism, media, aging, work, organizing, reading, politics, writing, activism, and technology, among others — through reading fiction and nonfiction, and through an open process of sharing.
