THURSDAY 21 JUNE @ 7PM
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 omen 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.

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
