Where Girls Read for Fun
Progressionista (noun) - a woman who progresses in life through a love of reading
Progressionista Book Club based in Englewood exposes Chicago girls to the self-discovering power of reading for leisure while building a storybook sisterhood. Our monthly book club meetings feature diverse women professionals and interactive career activities related to the next fictional read. Our speakers -- or Progressionistas -- engage participants by sharing intimate stories about their careers and relating them to the group’s next book. Every meeting creates a girl power experience that further entices participants to read over the next month.
