AUTHORS @THE LIBRARY: Gina Barreca

It's-Not-That-I'm-Bitter.jpgTuesday, June 2
Noon
McManus Room

University of Connecticut professor Gina Barreca will discuss her new book It's Not That I'm Bitter...: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying about Visible Panty Lines and Conquered the World, a hilarious antidote for the toxic "musts." In essays that mull everything from the horror of chin hairs to why the “glass ceiling” is better described as a thick layer of men, she tells women to stop believing the lies and conquer the world---and she does it with a sharp wit, good shoes and remarkably little eye cream.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
