Gay, an American essayist and commentator, describes essential feminism as “the notion that there are right and wrong ways to be a feminist,” leaving those who do not live up to societal expectations feeling unfit or inadequate to identify themselves as such.About the authorRoxane Gay is a contemporary, prolific American author, professor, and social commentator whose work extensively explores the intersections of feminism, race, and body image through the lens of personal experience. A Haitian-American writer born in Omaha, she rose to international prominence with her 2014 New York Times best-selling essay collection Bad Feminist and has since authored critically acclaimed works, including the novel An Untamed State and the vulnerable memoir Hunger. Beyond her literary output, Gay holds the Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair at Rutgers University, has broken barriers as a lead writer for Marvel’s World of Wakanda, and continues to influence public discourse as a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times and founder of the Roxane Gay Books imprint. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/reading-109-bad-feminist-by-roxane-gay/100001986696977139 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, sports, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Freading-109-bad-feminist-by-roxane-gay-tickets-1986696977139 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Commonwealth - **lat**: 40.6671918 - **long**: -73.9876922 - **full address**: Commonwealth, 497 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Reading Club in Brooklyn (https://allevents.in/org/reading-club-in-brooklyn/25552358) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/38e06bba55538d13cf9051e83c4d3db643bf5fa3d597687ca42424e6f05f6c69-rimg-w1200-h600-dc5d5e5f-gmir.jpg?v=1775282085 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1ce6ce637c301be369bafce434d1c27f96e0141f847dda79f9f6e8d32909d0ca-rimg-w400-h400-dc5d5e5f-gmir.jpg?v=1775282085 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Commonwealth, 497 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Reading Club in Brooklyn - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, sports, meetups - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Reading 109: Bad Feminist, by Roxane Gay ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Reading 109: Bad Feminist, by Roxane Gay", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/38e06bba55538d13cf9051e83c4d3db643bf5fa3d597687ca42424e6f05f6c69-rimg-w1200-h600-dc5d5e5f-gmir.jpg?v=1775282085", "startDate": "2026-04-08T18:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-08T20:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/reading-109-bad-feminist-by-roxane-gay/100001986696977139", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Commonwealth", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "497 5th Avenue", "postalCode": "11215", "addressLocality": "Brooklyn", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.6671918", "longitude": "-73.9876922" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join Reading Club to discuss Roxane Gay’s \"Bad Feminist\", a sharp look at the \"right\" and \"wrong\" ways to be a feminist.
