Join the League of Women Voter’s new evening book Club. In response to COVID, this group will be meeting online for now.

Typically our book club is on the third Wednesday of the month, but because of the inauguration on Jan 20 this month we are meeting on Jan 14.

The book this month is:

Caste: The Origins of our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson.

Yes, this is also a selection of Oprah Winfrey's Book Club.

From Amazon:

"As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.”

In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.
