Gender

[close] A space to delve into the purpose and impact of women in literature: looking at work throughout history that has been crafted by writers of any identity- no restrictions! Every individual is welcome, the same ideology being relevant for the opinions of which they hold.

[close] What is intersectional feminism? Intersectional feminism centres on the voices of those experiencing overlapping forms of oppression such as ethnicity, sexuality, gender, class and more. What is this group about? Our club is a welcoming space that focuses on reading books authored by individuals from marginalised backgrounds. Our discussions delve into the complex intersections of race, gender, class and sexuality. We explore the works of feminist fighters such as Audre Lorde, bell hooks , Nasal El Saadawi and more! Suggestions are welcome. Join us as we journey through thought-provoking narratives, challenging societal norms and advocating for a more inclusive world where we discover more books of inspiring intersectional feminist authors!

[close] To create more shared experiences through the OECD Women's Network, we have decided to set up a Book Club to discuss fiction and non-fiction books around the topics of gender, equality, women, and feminism – old and new. Some amazing books are out there - inspiring, funny (or sad), though-provoking and empowering! Why not to use some of our leisure time to read books focused on issues that are of interest to all of us and share our thoughts with each other? Many of us are focused on reading and writing technical papers on a daily basis. Reading literature may help not only enrich our writing style, but is also proven to develop better problem solving skills (see some thoughts on literature, business and economics and why it’s being taught in Harvard Business School). Literature may also help us delve into issues that are not easily described in technical ways. We’ll keep the choice of topics rather broad, and the group will decide which books to read next at its meetings. The group will meet once a month to discuss one book. Happy reading!

[close] A fun group for feminists looking for a place to blow off some steam or discuss ideas. All genders welcome, you do not need to be a girl to be a feminist.
