Educating undergraduate women for leadership in the 21st century.

Spring 2011 marked the first gatherings of the Newcomb Book Club. These evenings of friendship and conversation, open to all Newcomb and Tulane alumnae and alumni, proved to be so successful that the NAA continues to expand the number of cities hosting book clubs, offering fall and spring gatherings in selected cities.

This spring the Newcomb Book Clubs will discuss Aimee Bender's The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. Ms. Bender, the 2013 Zale-Kimmerling Writer-in-Residence, is the author of four books and numerous works of short fiction. She lives in Los Angeles and teaches creative writing at USC. Learn more about Ms. Bender and the Zale-Kimmerling Writer-in-Residence program at http://tulane.edu/newcomb/programs/zale.cfm
