Communion: the Female Search for Love

Boston Public Library, Rabb Lecture Hall
700 Boylston Street, Boston
No tickets are required.

It seems an appropriate day to come together with bell hooks, one of our most revered and acute social critics, to discuss the place of love in a woman's life. With her trademark commanding and lucid language, hooks explores the ways ideas about women and love were changed by the feminist movement, by our full participation in the workforce, and by the culture of self-help. Her penetrating words silence our fears about becoming women who love too much, yet they also challenge us. She stirs us to devote as much of ourselves to love, to loving our partners, our bodies, our pasts, our parents, as we do our careers and our independence.

Communion is the heart-to-heart talk every woman needs to have. And this conversation guides us - mothers, daughters, friends, and lovers - on one of our most life-affirming journeys. This should be a inspirational event and I hope to see lots of you there. bell hooks will be speaking at 6 pm in the Rabb Lecture Hall at the Boston Public Library, 700 Boylston St, Boston. No tickets are required.
