Women Outdoors Book Club Presents:

"The Warmth of Other Suns"

Women Outdoors is excited to announce the start of our new book club! Beginning in mid-August, we'll be reading The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson.

Join us on Sunday, October 25, 2026,at 7pm for an engaging Zoom discussion hosted by WO’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Committee.

This acclaimed book chronicles the Great Migration of millions of American citizens from Jim Crow South through powerful personal stories. Together, we'll explore its lasting impact on American society, with special attention to the experiences of women and the enduring relevance of the themes it raises today.

Whether you're a longtime reader or new to the book, we welcome you to be part of this meaningful conversation.

Note: Zoom Meeting Details will be sent with your confirmation email

FAQs:

Q: I am entering the lottery with my friend/partner/spouse/etc. How does this work?

A: We will put your names (together) into the lottery. You will be entered as one name.

Q: I only want to come if I can have a single room. What if the only

opening is a double?

A: We will fill the single versus double rooms as they are selected

by the lottery process. If there are no single rooms available when

you are picked then you will be placed on the waiting list for a

single.

Q: I am fine with being in a double. Do I have to pre-select a

roommate?

A: No, we will assign you a roommate.

Q: How quickly does the waitlist open up?

A: It depends on when people cancel. Sometimes it is right before a

refund deadline. Often there are cancellations at the last minute due

to illness or life circumstances, so being flexible can work out in the

end.
