Most Read This Week In Gender

[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] Girls Against began as a campaign that aimed to establish a discussion of the issue of sexual assault at gigs and although this discussion has been firmly established, we are still working on expanding it. We are hoping to use this book club to bring to light the issues surrounding it - i.e the deep-rooted attitudes installed in our culture that have made sexual assault at gigs commonplace. We want to stimulate discussion whilst also amplifying the voices of authors whose views are in alignment with the campaigns whether they are authors of fiction/non-fiction texts or poetry. We'd love for you to join us in reading and discussing some thought-provoking and interesting texts!

[close] We read books with big ideas. We talk about them. We learn things. We grow together. What's a *Big Idea*? Something larger than current events and trends that gives us a fresh perspective or understanding on our world. Our reads are not overly partisan. However, we recognize everyone has a point of view, and allow some bias. We identify and engage bias rather than pretend that objectivity exists. Our reads are designed for a broad audience. You don't have to be an economist or physicist to follow.
