BitchReads: Anita Hill in Conversation with Renee Bracey Sherman
September 30, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
FreeFriends!
For this month’s BitchReads Book Club, we are thrilled to be hosting a conversation between Renee Bracey Sherman and the illustrious Anita Hill about her latest book, Believing: Our Thirty Year Journey to End Gender Violence. Join us for the must-watch BitchReads interview next Thursday, September 30 at 2pm PST/5pm EST.
Just RSVP today to get a reminder for the live stream next week.
Anita Hill is University Professor of Social Policy, Law, and Women’s and Gender Studies at Brandeis University. After the 1991 Senate confirmation hearings for U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, Hill became a leading figure in the fight for women’s rights and against gender-based violence. She has written for the New York Times and Newsweek, and is a sought-after speaker.
Renee Bracey Sherman is a reproductive justice activist, abortion storyteller, and writer. She is the founder and executive director of We Testify, an organization dedicated to the leadership and representation of people who have abortions and share their stories at the intersection of race, class, and gender identity. She is also an executive producer of Ours to Tell, an award-winning documentary elevating the voices of people who’ve had abortions, and the co-author of the forthcoming book COUNTERING ABORTIONSPLAINING from Amistad/Harper Collins.
We hope you’ll join us for the interview and the members-only Q&A with Anita Hill. RSVP today!
