Monday, December 10, 2018: Please support KPFA Women's Magazine

It's that time again. It's KPFA's final fundraiser of the year.  Today's show features an interview with acclaimed writer Maxine Hong Kingston that was aired over a year ago, along with a conversation between Maxine and Gary Gach, author of PAUSE, BREATHE, SMILE: AWAKENING MINDFULNESS WHEN MEDITATION IS NOT ENOUGH.  (For anyone who doesn't know, Maxine is author of THE WOMAN WARRIOR, the most frequently taught book by a living writer in American universities, and CHINA MEN, winner of the National Book Award.)

Kate Raphael says: "We're offering the full 90+ minute talk as a thank you gift for your pledge to KPFA of $75 or $5 a month (I know, $5 a month is $60, but that's what they told me), and the book for a donation of $100 (book and CD for $150).  Usually I think meditation and mindfulness are not my thing, but I have to say, I was kind of blown away by this discussion, especially when Maxine said that protest marches are a form of meditation! [Note: gifts are still available on KPFA Donate.]

"Any amount, from $5 to $500, helps us make our goal of $1500 for the hour, and lets KPFA know that you value feminist and gender-oriented programming.  And helps keep the voices you need coming to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  (I was hearing the new Sunday evening music show, Motown on Mondays, while I was here at the station tonight, and it's pretty great. If you haven't heard it, check it out - 10 pm on Sundays.)"
