About Us

Sixth Street Book Group: Brooklyn, New York, United States; Sixth Street Book Group was formed nearly 30 years ago by a group of new moms who all lived on or near Sixth Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Brooklyn, New York. While its boundaries have expanded beyond Sixth Street, and many members are exploring the wonders of becoming mother-in-laws and even grandmothers, much has remained the same. See Rules to find out what may have contributed to the club's longevity.

An Old Rule Newly Explained

No men allowed!

The Sixth Street Book Group is an all female group. In the past, some experimentation with male members (sounds racy) just confirmed that men change the tone and dynamics of the discussion. It is not what they say so much, as how they say it? A proposal to add a male to the group, was rejected.
