The League of Women Voters - Whitewater Area invites its members and the public to participate in its newly formed book club. To become more informed advocates, the club will explore the League’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policy through meaningful discussions of current notable books dealing with public policy issues of interest to the League.

The inaugural book will be Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Pulitzer Prize winning author Isabel Wilkerson. In Caste Wilkerson “examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions.” The book will be discussed via Zoom over two meetings: Thursdays, March 10 and 31 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm.

The League has made special arrangements with Irvin L. Young Memorial Library for those who need to reserve a copy of the book. Books will be available to checkout February 17. Contact Deb Gamble at shebagam [at] gmail.com?subject=Book%20Club" target="_blank">shebagam [at] gmail.com or 262.458.0077 with questions, to reserve a book or to sign up for the Zoom meetings.

Remember, you do not need to be a member of the League (or a woman!) to join the book discussions. We look forward to beginning this new adventure with you.
