Join author Patricia Park, 2013-2014 AAUW American Fellow, as she discusses her first novel Re Jane: A Novel.
For Jane Re, a half-Korean, half-American orphan, the place she’s wanted to escape her whole life is Flushing, Queens. The novel “grapples with real issues of identity, race, and culture from global and historical perspectives.” Register at www.aauw.org.

Come learn about the issues facing working women today! Join AAUW’s Gloria Blackwell, Vice President of Fellowships and Grants, on October 20th at 7:30pm ET as she talks to former AAUW American Fellow Heather Boushey about her new book, Finding Time: The Economics of Work-Life Conflict, which was hailed by Vogue as “the feminist econ book you never knew you needed.” Boushey, the executive director of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, will use her economist’s lens to make the case for why earned sick leave, paid family and medical leave, affordable child care, and flexible schedules – all key AAUW policy priorities – will improve work-life balance, benefit the economy and families, and provide businesses with better-quality employees. She’s been hailed as one of the “most vibrant voices in the field” by the New York Times, so you won’t want to miss this!

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, we are pleased to invite you to join AAUW’s ¡Adelante! Book of the Month Club for our upcoming discussion with Carol Spaulding-Kruse and Kelsey Lepperd, authors of The Ones I Bring with Me/Los Que Llevo Conmigo: Iowa’s Latinas on Education, Identity, and Success.
This bilingual English and Spanish book explores the experiences of young Latinas who take part in Al Éxito, an educational program originally established by AAUW of Iowa with support from an AAUW Community Action Grant. The book tells the story of overcoming barriers that keep Latinas from completing school.
The Ones I Bring with Me/Los Que Llevo Conmigo shows the character and determination of students and their young adult mentors who tell about their struggles with identity and experiences as people of color. The foreword is by Maria Hinojosa, award-winning journalist and the anchor and executive producer of Latino USA on NPR, a radio show devoted to Latino issues.
Join AAUW New Mexico Online Branch and other national members as we read the September ¡Adelante! Book of the Month Club selection The Ones I Bring With Me and register at www.aauw.org for the book discussion by September 26th. The event will be held September 28rd at 7:30pm ET.
Please help us make these events a success, enabling us to feature other authors in the future.
Happy reading, — in memory of Gloria Cordova!
