Change the Story with Screwnomics:
A Book Launch Event to Learn How the Economy Works Against Women and Real
Ways to Make Lasting Change
Montpelier, Vt. -- “Money talks—only it usually talks in a male voice,”
writes author Rickey Gard Diamond, quoting the feminist Andrea Dworkin. For a
welcome change, listen to Diamond and Cary Brown, executive director of
Vermont’s Commission on Women, talk about money and the state of women’s
economics, Tuesday, May 1st at 7:00 p.m. at Bear Pond Books, 77 Main Street,
Montpelier.
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.
