The third series of Savannah Bay’s Feminist Book Club returns to fiction, with a contrasting focus on dystopias and utopias and personal autonomy.
From February to June, Savannah’s Feminist Book Club will read and discuss five dystopian and utopian visions, each focused on the power of personal choice and collective religious narrative. This series’ lineup includes three people of color and one queer author. The bookclub is not a four-month-long commitment, feel free to join any month you like. There will be snacks and drinks available. The event is free if you buy the book at our shop; otherwise, we ask a contribution of €6.
In a world obsessed with birth rates, shifting demographics, and privilege under capitalism, Joanne Ramos explores baby farming in her 2019 novel The Farm. Utilizing multiple protagonists allows clear views of the intersectionality of class and race when the feminine quality of birth is commoditized. The Farm shares themes of surrogacy and gender essentialism with our next book, Margaret Atwood’s seminal Handmaid’s Tale, but we choose to start with Ramos to air out its nuance without those heavy weights.
Please join us for an expansive conversation and treats on Thursday, April 10.
Price of the book is €14,95. If you want to order the book from us, please make sure to do so on time.
