There is a renaissance blooming in the climate movement: leadership that is rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. But while it\u2019s clear that women and girls are vital voices and agents of change for this planet, they are too often missing from the proverbial \u201ctable.\u201d More than a problem of bias, it\u2019s a dynamic that sets us up for failure. To change everything, we need everyone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With this in mind, UConn Reads invites all members of the UConn community to join in an engaging discussion around this year’s book selection: \u201cAll We Can Save.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since 2011, UConn Reads has gathered students, staff, alumni, faculty, and community members who share an interest and sense of pride in the University, who relish intelligent, respectful debate, and who bring their own individual perspectives and personal experiences to a thought-provoking and engaging conversation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll We Can Save\u201d is a collection of provocative and illuminating essays from women on the front lines of climate change, as those most at risk, and those most likely to solve it. <\/span>Edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine Wilkinson, the book is a bestselling collection of writings by 60 women and offering abundant wisdom and solutions to lead humanity forward.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on each other or our collective future. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A national bestseller and named one of the best books of the year in 2020 by <\/span>Smithsonian Magazine<\/span><\/a>, the editors have curated a collection of \u201chope-filled perspectives on the climate crisis that has inspired many to think on the side of action rather than being paralyzed with worry about the future of the planet.\u201d The publication has also sparked the <\/span>All We Can Save<\/span><\/a> Movement, to nurture future leaders of the climate community and encourage meaningful action.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The book was selected in collaboration with UConn for Women’s Herstory Month, being celebrated by the <\/span>Women’s Center<\/span><\/a> in March 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n
