Bad Girl Book Club | Upright Women Wanted (BG25-23)

Join this evening women's book club! And no, you don’t have to be a "bad girl" to join the group. This group will focus on books with female authors and unique female protagonists. In depth and honest opinions are encouraged. You don’t even have to finish the book to join in on the discussion. Indulgent beverages and desserts will be served. 

Monday, July 14

6:00–8:00 pm

Facilitator: Andrea Azar

Esther is a stowaway. She’s hidden herself away in the Librarian’s book wagon in an attempt to escape the marriage her father has arranged for her—a marriage to the man who was previously engaged to her best friend. Her best friend who she was in love with. Her best friend who was just executed for possession of resistance propaganda.

The future American Southwest is full of bandits, fascists, and queer librarian spies on horseback trying to do the right thing. They'll bring the fight to you.

In Upright Women Wanted, award-winning author Sarah Gailey reinvents the pulp Western with an explicitly antifascist, near-future story of queer identity. — Goodreads
