Rachel Kauder Nalebuff & Friends: OUR RED BOOK
2022-11-05 09:00 - 11:00
Rachel Nalebuff Kauder comes to celebrate the publication of Our Red Book, a collection of essays, oral histories, and artworks about periods across all stages of life, gathered by the editor of the New York Times bestselling anthology My Little Red Book.

Our Red Book takes us through stories of first periods, last periods, missing periods, and everything about bleeding that people wish they had been told. Weaving together powerful voices—from teenagers, midwives, Indigenous scholars, Olympic athletes, incarcerated writers, disoriented fathers, elected leaders who fought to make period products free, friends transitioning genders, grandmothers, and lovers—the book invites us on a collective journey of growth and change, with Rachel’s own voice as a guide.

Copies of Our Red Book will be available for purchase thanks to New Haven’s newest indie bookstore, Possible Futures.

Readers will include: Nina Bentley, Mindi Englart, Nadia Gaskins, Axel Gay, Somah Haaland, Nina Kauder, Kica Matos, Sofiya Moorem Amira Pierotti, & Piper Zschack!
