“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”―Marcus Tullius Cicero. The student-led Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Book Fair was held at the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground September 21. Ale Vera (CAS’27) (left) and Julia Zayas (ENG’27) were among the students and staff checking out the fair’s poetry and anthology options. Some of the almost 400 titles on offer were donated, others were curated by the fair’s partner, Brookline Booksmith.
