WOMEN'S CAUCUS READS


As we move into the summer, we want to highlight the importance of continuing to stay informed and engaged with the activism seen in June.

In June, our book club chose the critically acclaimed book
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. This powerful novel tells the story of Maya's childhood as well as addresses the struggles of growing up as a woman of color in mid 20th century America.
