Join us for our first book club event of 2021 as we chat with White Feminism author (and Out in Tech speaker fave!) Koa Beck.

White Feminism is a fascinating new dive into "how elitism and racial prejudice has driven the narrative of feminist discourse. Koa Beck blends pop culture, primary historical research, and first-hand storytelling to show us how we have shut women out of the movement, and what we can do to course correct for a new generation—perfect for women of color looking for a more inclusive way to fight for women’s rights."

The book can be ordered here. A note that you will not be expected to have read the book to attend the virtual event.

Koa will be in conversation with #book-club moderator Jackie Bellando.
