Women's History Month 2010: Book Discussion - April 5

Metropolitan State University will host several Women's History Month
events during the month of March and on Monday, April 5.

The April 4 event will be a book discussion by Literature and Language
Professor, Dr. Carolyn Whitson, on the novel,"Kindred (1979)" by Octavia
Butler. Not many African-American women authors have ventured into the
genre of science-fiction and fantasy novels, but Butler is the most
famous and successful among them. Her novel, Kindred (1979), allows the
reader to explore what being of mixed-race ancestry and having a family
history of slavery has meant to modern black women.
The Equal Opportunity and Diversity Office graciously purchased several
copies of the book which are in reserve at the university library for
your reading pleasure before the presentation.

Date: Monday, April 5
11:30 Am to 1:00 PM
Library, Ecolab 302

The complete Women's History Month event calendar will be distributed as soon as possible.
