AAUW Book Club

On Monday night, as the snow fell, I joined the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Non-Fiction Book Group for a discussion of Berkeley to Beijing.

Thanks to Denise George for hosting and to Rosmarie Frederickson for the invitation. The motto for New Mexico AAUW is "Empowering Women to take charge of their lives"

It is always fun to meet with book groups. Each one is unique and takes a different approach to discussing the book. We had a lively talk and I was thrilled to hear several of the women talk about their journeys to China. The group had a mix of ages which made the discussion of how the role of women in China and the US had progressed over the decades, raising kids, socialism vs. feudalism, China and Shirley MacLaine.

I am working to compile a list of the book questions from the different book groups I've joined.
