Finding Our Voices is set to hold an online book club discussion of “The Bonobo Sisterhood: Revolution Through Female Alliance” with the book’s author, Diane Rosenfeld, founding director of Harvard’s Gender Violence Program. The discussion is scheduled for 6-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11.
The event is part of the Finding Our Voices Book Club, which gathers with authors six times a year — mostly online— to examine books through the lens of domestic abuse.
Finding Our Voices is the grassroots nonprofit providing peer support and resources to Maine women survivors of domestic abuse. It is not necessary to identify as a domestic abuse survivor to be part of this book club.
This event is free and open to the public. The link to join the club and discussion is bookclubs.com.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
