Gender Studies

[close] We read books written by female authors and then we talk about them. All gender identities are welcome to become members of this group. All book selections will be written by female authors only, but cover a variety of genres and topics including but not limited to; feminism, gender politics, women of colour, biographies, award nominees, new releases, general fiction, science fiction, women around the world, and LGBTQIA. Let's mix it up! Please add your favorite books by women to the shelf so others can check them out too. Also, please participate when you can; the more the merrier! ♥

[close] Даваме начало на Читателски клуб към Фондация „Екатерина Каравелова“, в който всеки месец ще се обсъжда книга, чиято тема по някакъв начин е свързана с работата на организацията. Срещите ще бъдат на живо в тесен кръг в офиса на фондацията в град Пловдив, а тази група е тяхно естествено продължение.

[close] Are you a feminist, interested in feminist history, interested in horror, or gothic literature? If you are interested in any of those, join this group. If you are interested in all of the above, you will love the female gothic. Female gothic literature is literature written by women that uses gothic worlds and settings to bring into question gender roles, expectations, and norms. The use of symbols and tropes is very significant in the female gothic. Traditional stories may have naively curious heroines, such as Mysteries of Upolpho. Other works such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein play with character relations to show female struggles. There are layers and layers of depth to the female gothic, something worthy of endless conversations. Join this group to recommend female gothic literature, read some, or learn about the female gothic.
