Kristen J. Sollée in Conversation With Ev’Yan Whitney

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

By combining historical research, pop culture, art analyses, and original interviews, Kristen J. Sollée’s Cat Call (Weiser) explores the cat and its indivisible connection to femininity – and teases out how this connection can help us better understand the relationship between myth, history, magic, womanhood in the digital age, and our beloved, clawed companions. Sollée will be joined in conversation by Ev’Yan Whitney, sex educator and host of The Sexually Liberated Woman podcast.
