The City Council of Vila will continue with the Feminist Reading Club this 2025 after the good results of the previous five editions. This January, the club opens with the reading of “Egües exhaustes“, by Bibiana Collado Cabrera.
This reading club has been held since 2019 where on the last Thursday of each month (except July and August) interested people meet at the Casal de Igualdad to share impressions of the proposed book. These are always readings with a gender perspective in which feminism and equality are the central theme.
The book that will inaugurate this sixth edition is “Egües exhaustes”, by Bibiana Collado Cabrera, a novel that reviews the passage from the 20th to the 21st century in Spain through the relationship between a mother and her daughter, a string of exhausted women with the feeling that something should be happening but never does.
This is a free activity, thanks to funds received from the Ministry of Families and Social Affairs of the Government of the Balearic Islands, through the Balearic Institute for Women, and the Ministry of Equality, through the State Pact against gender violence.
Whoever wants to go can register by writing a message to igualtat@eivissa.es or by calling 971 39 76 26 or by going to the Casal de Igualdad (avenida de la paz s/n, corner with Sant Cristòfol street).
Sara Barbado, Councillor for Equality of the City Council of Eivissa, is pleased with this sixth edition full of readings that are very worthwhile.
