Most Read This Week In Gender

[close] At the core of YWCA’s mission, our most essential job is to imagine, fight for, and create a more socially just world for the next generation of women -- and also prepare them for that future. In 2018, we’re introducing a new kind of book club. Each month, we’ll feature reads that tie directly to YWCA Dayton’s current advocacy priorities – economic advancement, gender-based violence, affordable housing, and girls of color– to raise awareness and spark dialogue. The best part: you can connect from wherever YOU are. This virtual book club lives on GoodReads. At the end of each month, we’ll host a discussion to unpack the book’s themes, talk about intersections, and identify ways everyone can empower women, eliminate racism, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

[close] Discover and recommend more feminist reads here: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/96419.The_Feminist_Orchestra_Potential_Reading_List We're also on twitter: https://twitter.com/femorchestra #feministorchestra Sick of sexist comments from people online and being accused of banging my 'feminist drum' by intolerant people I have decided to start a Feminist Bookclub on Booktube. All engagement is welcome though, on youtube, on blogs and on goodreads. This is not 'my' bookclub, however, it belongs to all of us. I strongly believe feminism, which means equality of all sexes in society, not to be about the individual but about everyone and to be a group movement. Therefore, I want this bookclub to be a group. We read one book over the course of two months throughout the year. At the end of the first month there will be a pre-scheduled twitter chat on themes relating to that month's book, which will not require you to have finished the book. A video review will then be posted on Jean (bookishthoughts) or Lauren's (readsanddaydreams) channel on youtube. If you also film a youtube review/discussion or write a review/discussion of the book on your blog please share it with us all by posting it in the reviews thread. Please use #feministorchestra on twitter, instagram and elsewhere so we can all share our posts, thoughts, discussion and book reviews Gender equality is at the heart of this book club so please recognise this in your behaviour. We do not exist to convince anyone of this but to discuss the nuances and individual issues presented by the literature we read.

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era.
