Pride Author Event

Joan Gelfand

Outside Voices: A Memoir of the Berkeley Revolution, a firsthand look at how the power of community emboldened innovation, social change, and self-discovery in the 1970s, and its connections with what is happening today, will be discussed as part of our Pride Author Event. Joan Gelfand is a poet, a fiction and nonfiction writer, an academic, a writing coach, a public speaker and a visible member of the California literary community as the past president of the Women’s National Book Association.  Outside Voices  is the winner of Literary Titan Book Award 2024, International Book Award 2024, and NYC Big Book Award 2024.
