Reading: Ideals and Crazy Dreams: Radical Writer-Mamas on Tour @Bluestockings in NYC
Featuring Ariel Gore, China Martens and Annie Downey
Come see three writer-moms perform from three inspiring new books. Gore, founder of Hip Mama, performs from How To Become a Famous Writer Before You're Dead; Martens, tells stories about her 18 years as a mother from The Future Generation: The Zine-o-Book; and Downey spins offbeat and off-balance tales from her critically acclaimed new novel, Hot and Bothered, a Cinderella story for single moms.
A member of the Icarus Project in California recently received a rejection letter from the Goenka Vipassana Meditation Center for no other reason than they had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago. Join a campaign to protest this discrimination.
