MWP Social Action Book Group

When: December 12, 2026, 1:30-3:00

Book: The Lion Women of Tehran, by Marjan Kamali, is “evocative...and a powerful portrait of friendship, feminism, and political activism” (People) set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran.

In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams for a friend to alleviate her isolation. Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions of becoming “lion women.”

But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.

Together, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.”

“Reminiscent of The Kite Runner and My Brilliant Friend, The Lion Women of Tehran is a mesmerizing tale (BookPage) of love and courage, and a sweeping exploration of how profoundly we are shaped by those we meet when we are young.” Amazon

NEXT CHAPTER

FFI: Cathy Skrip - cleemslp@gmail.com

Next Chapter is a dynamic community of current and formerMWPmembers, generally aged 60 and older, who are retired or considering retirement from clinical practice. If you are approaching this stage of life, we invite you to join our ongoing gatherings. Whether you retired years ago or anticipate retiring within the next few years, Next Chapter continuesMWP’s mission of fostering connection, support, and networking among seasoned professionals.

Our last gathering for 2026 will be in-person! Although we usually Zoom during the winter months, the group decided that the building and maintaining of relationships is a high priority for us. If you want to participate but cannot attend, please contact Cathy Skrip.

JOIN US to share STORIES OF OUR MOTHERS. Our memories and relationships with our mothers come in all different colors, shapes, and moods. Please write a meaningful story about your mother that would take no more than 7 or 8 minutes to read to the group. Hope you can come and participate in this sharing experience.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1:00 - 3:00 PM at the Highland Park Community Center & Library, 1974 Ford Parkway, St. Paul
