AAUW Book Discussion: "Nightbitch"

Sat, Feb 21, 2026 11am to 12pm

Grounds for Thought

Join the American Association of University Women (AAUW) for a discussion of Rachel Yoder's Nightbitch. At home full-time with her two-year-old son, an artist finds she is struggling. She is lonely and exhausted. She had imagined - what was it she had imagined? Her husband, always travelling for his work, calls her from faraway hotel rooms. One more toddler bedtime, and she fears she might lose her mind. With its clear eyes on contemporary womanhood and sharp take on structures of power, Nightbitch is an outrageously original, joyfully subversive read that will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. Addictive enough to be devoured in one sitting, this is an unforgettable novel from a blazing new talent. Book Discussion Facilitator: Loni Stouffer To RSVP, please email aauwbg@gmail.com. Please notify us prior to the event if you need special services, assistance or appropriate modifications to fully participate.
