¡Adelante! Book Club
One gender gap we don’t hear about as often is the literary gender gap. Female authors are much less likely than male authors to have their books reviewed in major publications like the New York Times and Harper’s Magazine.
In 2014, 41 percent of books reviewed by the New York Times were by women; for Harper’s Magazine, it was 28 percent. And the numbers are even worse for women of color: 15 percent for the New York Times and 7 percent for Harper’s Magazine. That’s why AAUW created the ¡Adelante! Book of the Month Club: to spotlight engrossing stories and writing by women from all backgrounds.
¡Adelante! Book Club Spotlight - July
More on Euphoria. Clicked here.
“English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone in the field for several years, studying a tribe on the Sepik River in the territory of New Guinea with little success. Increasingly frustrated and isolated by his research, Bankson is on the verge of suicide when he encounters the famous and controversial Nell Stone and her wry, mercurial husband, Fen. Bankson is enthralled by the magnetic couple, whose eager attentions pull him back from the brink of despair. Ultimately, the three young, gifted anthropologists find themselves caught in a love triangle that threatens their bonds, careers, and lives. Set between World War I and World War II and inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is an enthralling story of passion, possession, exploration, and sacrifice.”
AAUW Public Policy
- FLASH: AAUW to Participate in Department of Education Meeting on Title IX // July 13, 2017
WASHINGTON—Anne Hedgepeth, interim vice president of public policy and government relations for the American Association of University Women (AAUW), issued the following statement following the announcement that the U.S. Department of Education will hold a series of meetings and roundtable discussions on Thursday, July 13, 2017, focusing on Title IX, the federal law banning sex discrimination in all federally funded education programs. AAUW has been invited to join the discussion on Title IX alongside higher education administrators, law professors, and other higher education associations. In this meeting, AAUW will continue to demand that Title IX be strengthened and fully enforced. Title IX’s protections ensure that sexual harassment, including violence, does not interfere with or limit students’ educations. Read More Here

Advocacy group Know Your IX recently published their State Policy Playbook, which provides recommendations for how to combat gender based-violence on college campuses, support survivors, and keep students safe. The report, designed for students, advocates, and state policymakers, outlines guidance for improving transparency and accountability within the education system.
The Center for American Progress’s Hands Off campaign created a website to help people learn more about the proposed budget cuts in Congress. The information is searchable and organized by both issue areas and by congressional districts, making it easy to see how cuts would impact your community.
