Screwnomics Hometown Book Launch

Past event
May 1, 2018, 7 to 8 PM

Save the Date! May 1st 7:00 pm Bear Pond Books.

Change the Story with "Screwnomics:" A Book Launch Event to Learn How the Economy Works Against Women and Real Ways to Make Lasting Change with author Rickey Gard Diamond and Vermont Commission on Women Director Cary Brown. With cake, wine, Q&A and book signing.

Free and open to the public.

Diamond and Brown will talk about "Screwnomics," Diamond's new book about the unspoken but widely applied economic theory that women should always work for less, or better, for free. Diamond will share stories along with surprising definitions and cartoons to help you laugh at what is often absurd.

"Diamond's wit and charm, combined with [Peaco] Todd's quirky art, succeed in creating an economic primer that's both informative and fun….A smart, comprehensive economics guide with a feminist twist," writes Kirkus Review.

Diamond and Brown will share real ways that Vermont women are already making change —and you are invited to take part in that change. Brown will share hard-to-find economic data on women, and give a brief legislative update. You'll learn tools to support each other, ways to move beyond labels to find your economic story, and why making this subject as personal as it is will really make a difference.

"Why is it hard to find economic data on Vermont women? Because when money talks, it talks in a male voice. But we can and already are changing the story," says author Rickey Gard Diamond. She invites you to be part of the action at her Montpelier book launch on Tuesday, May 1st at 7:00 p.m. at Bear Pond Books.
