Eight dragons. One bar. Six weeks of argument about what families lost and what can be rebuilt.
Eight dragons. One bar. Six weeks of argument about what families lost and what can be rebuilt.
The Grand Matriarchy Companion brings the argument of The Grand Matriarchy to life through fiction, conversation, and forty-one thinker profiles spanning two centuries of ideas about family, gender, and community.
In Part A, eight characters with honestly different views sit down together and do the thing most people avoid: they argue about hard questions, in good faith, without walking out. They talk about grandmother networks, chosen families, the opioid crisis, leather communities, ballroom houses, and what it actually takes to rebuild what was lost.
In Part B, forty-one thinkers get profiled in plain language, from Wollstonecraft to Stevenson, from hooks to Rubin, with discussion questions and where to read the real thing.
Written for book clubs, classrooms, and anyone who wants to go deeper. Includes a 36-question Reading Group Guide, a Professor Review Panel, resources for grandparent and kinship caregivers, and the BURN / QUESTION / GO DEEPER format at the end of every session.
“Someone finally described what I have been doing my whole adult life and called it important.”— from The Grand Matriarchy Companion
