Join Women in NAAAP’s Book Club!
Spotlighting Asian-American women in literature – we celebrate narratives and authors that cover cultural identity, heritage, adversity, and perseverance.
We will meet once a quarter to discuss our thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences as it relates to the book!
Book Club is a great way to network and meet others with common interests. Whether you’re a casual reader or avid reader, all are welcome to join!
WiN is excited to announce this season’s book selection, “Minor Feelings” by Cathy Park Hong.
Through cultural criticism and her individual life experiences, Hong creates a narrative that challenges Asian American people to reflect on their own race, politics, and identity. She cleverly uses humor to unpack the complexities of being Asian in America and the “minor feelings” that arise when the American perception of Asian identity contradicts reality.

Past Books
“Crying in H-Mart” by Michelle Zauner
Zauner’s memoir touches upon growing up as Korean-American in the US, forgoing the presence of her mother, and embracing her identity. She eloquently captures the ties between the remembrance of loved ones, Korean culture, and childhood memories to Korean cuisine.
