March Bail Fund Book Club: “The Women's House of Detention: A Queer History of a Forgotten Prison” by Hugh Ryan + Author Q&A

  • 10Forward 10 Fiske Avenue Greenfield, MA, 01301 United States (map)

The second meeting of the Bail Fund Book Club will take place on Saturday, March 16, from 2-4pm, at 10Forward in Greenfield. We will be discussing “The Women's House of Detention: A Queer History of a Forgotten Prison” by Hugh Ryan.

We will be joined by Ryan for a Q&A from 2-3pm, followed by a discussion from 3-4pm.

From the publisher: This singular history of a prison, and the queer women and trans people held there, is a window into the policing of queerness and radical politics in the twentieth century.
