"The Calamity Club" by Kathryn Stockett features a group of unbreakable women in 1933 Mississippi who are fighting to claim what’s rightfully theirs as the Depression tightens its grip.When unmarried and opinionated Birdie Calhoun meets Charlie, a woman with nothing left to lose, their fates—and that of 11-year-old orphan Meg—converge with those of a band of undaunted, disreputable women as they form an audacious plan to take back control of their lives.
