AUDACIA RAY – NAKED ON THE INTERNET
Naked on the Internet: Hookups, Downloads, and Cashing In on Internet  
Sexploation
Few things are more misunderstood and cause more fear and suspicion  
than the combination of female sexuality and the Internet. Naked on  
the Internet explores how women use cyberspace, personally and  
professionally, to learn about  themselves, connect with others, and  
make a living. Author Audacia Ray then goes further, examining the  
Internet as a valuable — though often problematic — sexual space. Ray  
combines her insider's
knowledge with the voices of a variety of women whose firsthand  
experiences include camming, chatting, and making websites; dating,  
hooking up, and forming friendships; sex and relationship blogging;  
and making porn and doing other forms of sex work. She also examines  
the power of sexual health and online support communities and the  
technology that enables physical sexual encounters. Naked on the  
Internet is a guide to the ways women use, experience, and cash in on  
the Internet, as well as a critical analysis of the empowering and  
oppressive aspects of women's online experiences.

SATURDAY 23 JUNE @ 7PM

WEDNESDAY 27 JUNE @ 7PM
HIJAS AMERICANAS by Rosie Molinary
Young Latinas grow up dealing with two, often conflicting, sets of  
expectations about how they should look, how they should act and how  
they should dream, points out Molinary, a poet, teacher and  
first-generation Latina born to Puerto-Rican parents, in this study.  
Drawing on the responses of more than 500 women who answered an  
extensive survey, Molinary lays out the most pressing tensions and  
obstacles for Latinas around issues like body image, religion and  
sexuality. In chapters titled Turning Gringa and How Latina Are You?  
she weaves together her own stories with the anecdotes of her survey  
respondents.

SATURDAY 30 JUNE @ 6PM
