Feminist Comedian Kate Clinton At Brattle Theater
Feminist humorist Kate Clinton is speaking tonight at the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square at an event sponsored by the Center for New Words and the Harvard Bookstore. This is CNW’s last author event, since the feminist organization will be shifting its focus to planning for the WAM! conference, the next of which will take place in Chicago next spring.
Clinton’s new book, I Told You So, spans refreshingly disparate topics: sexual hypocrisy and gay marriage; 9/11 and its aftermath; girls gone wild and boys gone to war; Hillary Clinton and U.S. politics; baptism and waterboarding; intelligent design and body shows; P-town and families of choice; and even bee colony and other collapses. What unites the essays is a Mobius strip of humor intended not to dissipate outrage but rather to motivate action.
