2009 Donation Drive – members responded generously

Holstein, which appeared in a book, Age Matters: Realigning Feminist Thinking. Charlotte Frank, co-founder of TTN, and a member of our book group, suggested we read and discuss the piece, since so many of the ideas and questions posed by the author are central to our lives.
