Literature Group
March came in like a lamb for the Literature Group when we met, as usual, the first Saturday of the month. Longtime members Lynn Ward, Evelyn Bachman, Alice Davidson, Marie Johnson, and Nancy Leetch continue to attend on a regular basis. Dorothea Barker is also one of our longer standing members, and Mary Kate Fredriksen and Kathleen McLaughlin join us on a regular basis. Lee Meiser is our most recent member. Here are some of the books that we reviewed at the meeting:
- Snowflower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
- Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham
- Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
- A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah
- The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression by Andrew Solomon
- Seductress: Women Who Ravished the World and Their Lost Art of Love by Elizabeth Prioleau
As you can see from these selections, we’re an eclectic group. Feel free to bring any book you’ve recently read and would like to review to our next meeting April 7, noon, Grounds for Thought. We would be glad to see some new members “blooming” in the spring. --Holly Norton, literature group leader
Author! Author!
Everyone is invited to join the Writers Group at the Women's Center. We meet every Tuesday from 7:30 to 8:30pm in the Women's Center, 107 Hanna Hall, on the BGSU campus. The Writers Group is an informal weekly gathering of writers, people who enjoy writing, and people dragged along by their writer friends. It is open to university students, faculty, and community members. In the past the Writers Group has done free writing and other writing activities using prompts, as well as informal workshops. We are always open to suggestions for writing activities. For more information, contact Teresa Milbrodt.
Remember to support the Brown Bag Luncheons at the Women’s Center, 107 Hanna Hall, BGSU, Wednesdays, 12-1pm.
