[FBC31] Joanne Ramos, author of The Farm

“I never set out to write a dystopia. What I really wanted to write about were these ideas from being an outsider throughout my life. One in particular is this idea that America is a meritocracy.” – Joanne Ramos

Joanne Ramos was born in the Philippines and moved to Wisconsin when she was six. She graduated with a B.A. from Princeton University. After working in investment banking and private-equity investing for several years, she became a staff writer at The Economist. She currently serves on the board of The Moth. Her debut novel, The Farm, is a national bestseller in the United States and Canada.

Renee Powers founded Feminist Book Club in 2018 to provide a space for intersectional feminists to learn, grow, and connect. When not reading or running the biz, you can find her drinking coffee and trying unsuccessfully to teach her retired racing greyhound how to fetch. Favorite genres: feminist thrillers, contemporary literary fiction, short stories, and anything that might be described as "irreverent"
