Join the Socialist Feminist Working Group Tuesday, 8/4 for the second session exploring Leslie Feinberg's seminal 1993 novel, Stone Butch Blues. We'll be meeting from 7-8:30 PM to discuss chapters 14-26.

Feel free to stop by even if you didn't chance to participate last week!

Stone Butch Blues is a book that, like both its author and main character, challenges and defies classification. It is a lesbian story, a transgender story, and a working class story. It is a revolutionary work, in all senses of the word, that explores sexuality, gender identity, queer love, solidarity, and how these exist in a society that attempts to limit and destroy them.

The book looks at the world of Buffalo and New York City in the latter half of the 20th century through the eyes of Jess Golberg, a masculine woman, as they make their way through blue collar jobs and gay bars, all the while struggling with thier place in the world and thier identity.

Feinberg's last words were "Remember me as a revolutionary communist". We hope to honor that memory here.

Stone Butch Blues contains explicit scenes of violence and sexual assault throughout the book. If you would like to know specific chapters or pages, please contact the facilitators.
