The Young Women’s Impact Network is excited to be continuing our virtual book club for women in their 20s and 30s! The next book we will be discussing is Self Care by Leigh Stein, and Leigh will be joining us for the discussion! This is the perfect place to discuss the book with Network members nationwide and have a unique opportunity to meet the author herself.

JWI requests a $5 donation to participate, supporting our critical work. Zoom link and meeting ID provided with registration.

JWI welcomes, embraces, affirms, and invests in women of every race, culture, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Leigh Stein is a writer interested in what the internet is doing to our identities, relationships, and politics. Her critically acclaimed satirical novel Self Care was released in June. From 2014–2017, she ran a secret Facebook group of 40,000 women writers, in her role as cofounder and executive director of Out of the Binders/BinderCon, a feminist nonprofit organization. She’s been called a “leading feminist” by the Washington Post and “poet laureate of The Bachelor” by The Cut. Her fifth book, What to Miss When, a collection of poetry written during the Coronavirus pandemic, is forthcoming from Soft Skull Press in 2021.
