Book clubs are a fun, social way to open a dialogue on women, diversity, and change. Many AAUW members share a love of reading, and that love, partnered with a desire to seek out books written from diverse perspectives, launched a new component of AAUW's diversity outreach program in 1996 - AAUW's ¡Adelante! Book of the Month Club.
For 2008-2009, ¡Adelante! is introducing two new book lists to join the selections that highlight diversity. There are now separate lists on Organizational Change and on Financial Literacy.
AAUW thanks the following members, branches, and states for their work compiling the list: Marcia Capriotti, AAUW Cobb County (GA) Branch; Jean Walker, AAUW Birmingham (MI) Branch; Diane Haney, North Shore (NY) Branch; AAUW California Online Branch; and AAUW of Georgia.
Since then, AAUW members have enjoyed exploring new ideas and perspectives through monthly discussions, both in person and through e-mail.¡Adelante! book groups meet in book stores, libraries, other public venues, and online, gathering both members and nonmembers to talk about issues of social justice based on the month’s selection.
