Equal Rights

[close] Join the Lowbrow Literate Alliance as we read and discuss books pertaining (but not limited) to: women, equal rights, civil rights, justice, politics, humor, and world's current climate. Our alliance is non-judgmental, fun, lighthearted, and wants to have enjoyable and meaningful book discussions!

[close] Group for discussion about Secular Humanism. Generally for those who either are Secular Humanists, or those who want to know about it. Support for info & books about Secular Humanism. Not for religious people to slam or otherwise put down. Non-religious (secular) morals & ethics derive from conscience and observation of the world in terms of reality ("let your conscience be your guide"). Ethics are preferred to synthesized morals and are practical, and work realistically. Science confirms reality and the real world around us and helps better explain and define it. "Secular" denotes "without and free of religion" as the U.S. government is supposed to be (see Separation Of Church And State). "Humanist" denotes being human, a member of humanity, and support of and by fellow human beings; i.e. social cooperation of and by equals. Also, being free of bias, prejudice and racism; but being a rational, reasoning, and objective person.

[close] Doyenne /doi (y)en/: a woman who is the most respected or prominent in a particular field. Hello everyone! This year, I have made it my mission to speak up for what I believe in. As an avid reader, that includes reading as many diverse, feminist and equal rights-related books as possible. There are so many topics, inspiring stories and empowering messages to be read! Every month we will read a new book focusing on or including a topic surrounding equal rights, feminism or diversity. During the last week of the month we will discuss the book and the topics it addresses. If this sounds good to you, go ahead and join up. I am so excited to read with and talk to all of you!
