Good Woman: A Reckoning Book Talk
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Event Navigation
Come to hear more about Savala’s latest book that has already been dubbed A Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Ms. Magazine.
Join us for a special lunchtime event as we celebrate the work of our very own Executive Director, Savala Nolan, to discuss her powerful new book, Good Woman: A Reckoning.
Recently dubbed “A Most Anticipated Feminist Book of 2026” by Ms. Magazine, Savala’s latest work is a raw, lyrical, and “brilliantly intelligent” exploration of the cages of female conditioning—and what happens when we choose to break out of them.
Savala will be joined in conversation by Professor Sarah Song for an intimate and probing discussion on identity, motherhood, the body, and the complexities of the modern “reckoning.” Whether you are a long-time supporter of the Center or a fan of contemporary feminist literature, we invite you to join us for this unique “homecoming” conversation.
Attendees will receive a free signed copy of Good Woman: A Reckoning, while supplies last.
All are welcome! Space is limited, so please RSVP here.
