[close] Bienvenido al Club Lecturas de Mujeres iniciado en marzo de 2018 por la Alianza Francesa de Valdivia en forma presencial. Decidí ampliar su difusión ahora con la versión online del Club que permitirá que gente de otras partes enriquezcan las conversaciones. Es un grupo orientado a Lecturas de mujeres francesas y francófonas que a través de sus escritos, dejan aparecer el papel de las mujeres, sus representaciones en la sociedad, sus sentimientos, sus alegrías, sus dudas y miedos, su evolución y toma de consciencia y poder a lo largo del tiempo y finalmente por qué escriben. Nos permitirá descubrir más "voces femeninas" antiguas y nuevas, esparcidas por el mundo francófono, que buscan decir, persuadir, mostrar, explicar algún mensaje importante para que cada día entendamos más y mejor nuestro entorno y nuestro mundo. El grupo está abierto a todos, sin condición de edad o de género.

[close] I've found that sadly, on many groups here, feminism is considered a dirty word. They censor and they close down a gal's opinions. Well not here. This is a group for women to unapologetically discuss feminism and a female-focused future. Especially with regard to promoting a more female-centric literary sector. Women read far more than men and yet we STILL do not get the representation we deserve. Female authors continue to be put down by male critics. Why is it that men feature so prominently in literary awards when they clearly don't deserve it? So ladies, feel free to start threads here, reply, discuss, even argue. This is a zone where your voice rules and the patriarchy can't silence you. And men? Note that this group is for one sex only: women. If you have a penis, go and start your own group because you will be removed from this one.

[close] Bi-monthly podcast on women in science fiction, fantasy and horror. This group will be a safe space to discuss women in genre fiction, from what authors you are reading to writing advice.
