Anne Elizabeth Moore

In Body Horror award-winning journalist and Fulbright scholar Anne Elizabeth Moore explores the global toll of capitalism on women with thorough research and surprising humor. Every day, heinous acts are perpetrated on women's bodies in the political economy—whether for entertainment, in the guise of medicine, or due to the conditions of labor that propel consumerism. The essays range from probing journalistic investigations, such as Moore's reporting on the labor conditions of the Cambodian garment industry, to the uncomfortably personal, as when Moore, who suffers from several autoimmune disorders, examines her experiences seeking care and community in the increasingly complicated (and problematic) American healthcare system. Featuring illustrations by Xander Marro, Body Horror is a fascinating and revealing portrait of the gore of contemporary American culture and politics.

Doors to the Reception Hall open at 5 p.m. and seating is available first come, first served (80 max.). Books are available for purchase and the author will autograph books at the conclusion of the program. (lilithcat)… (mere)
