Read Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler as we continue our Towards Liberation series
This year, we’ve been exploring a new way to Read & Resist through our Towards Liberation series. This series weaves together author Q&As, lectures, and discussion groups, all centered on creating meaning and driving actionable change in the world.
In February and March, we took a deep dive into the organizing primer Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba. When we asked our community what book they wanted to explore next, Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler was at the top of the list.
Octavia Butler has given us so many powerful works, but Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler stands out as a prolific novel that deeply resonates with today’s world. Join us as we dive into this visionary text and explore how fiction can offer insights into collective action, resilience, and the power of shared ideas.

We’ll start shipping books early April. All subscribers of Feminist Book Club have access to the Towards Liberation Series with their regular membership.
More about the book:
From a celebrated, award-winning author, a modern classic about a young girl fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world, perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin and Margaret Atwood. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding social chaos and anarchy caused by climate change and economic crisis. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy—a debilitating sensitivity to others’ emotions. Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny.
