Spring 2023 Reading Group

Bonobo Sisterhood

Prerequisite: None

Exam Type: No Exam

The Bonobo Sisterhood reading group explores the power and potential of female alliances to disrupt patriarchal systems. Through a legal, political, social, cultural and economic lens, we ask what lessons the bonobos-our close primate relatives who share 98.7% of our DNA—offer humans for creating a society free of male sexual coercion. Reading material will be the book The Bonobo Sisterhood: Revolution through Female Alliances, (Rosenfeld 2022).

Note: This reading group will meet on the following dates: 1/26, 2/9, 2/23, 3/2, 3/30, 4/13
