The Women’s Center and Northwestern University Press are proud to host celebrated authors, Elizabeth Crane (The History of Great Things, This Story Will Change:After the Happily Ever After and We Only Know So Much) and Gina Frangello (Blow Your House Down: A Story of Family, Feminism, and Treason, Every Kind of Wanting: A Novel, and A Life in Men: A Novel) in conversation with Megan Stielstra (Everyone Remain Calm, Once I Was Cool and The Wrong Way to Save Your Life).This April NU Press is publishing Crane’s much -anticipated new collection of short stories exploring themes of aging, sex, and friendship, alongside a reissue of her out-of-print first collection, When the Messenger is Hot. In February, NUPress published reprints of Frangello’s celebrated first two books, My Sister’s Continent: A Novel and Slut Lullabies: Stories. This spring is thereby the perfect opportunity to engage these incredible feminist writers in a candid conversation about sex, relationships, the what now of #MeToo, and what they find looking back through their own legacies of feminist writing.
