Womens Rights

[close] Also known as Litsy Feminist Book Club. We're an online feminist and social justice book club that focuses on books and literature as a way to build social awareness and turn it into action. Our book club selections are fiction and nonfiction, usually based on a monthly theme. We make an effort to read books based on current events and as diversely and intersectionally as possible. We read a book a month. We read starting on the 1st of every month with discussions that start during the last week of that month, e.g. May 1 with discussions May 25-31. Join us!

[close] Get ready to enter NOW’s Feminist Public Square by diving into new book picks and sharing in discourse to further our feminist future. Our aim is to elevate feminist thought and ideas and create a space for robust discussion. Each book selected will relate to one or more of NOW’s core issues: reproductive rights and justice, economic justice, ending violence against women, racial justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, and constitutional equality. Our goal is to grow together by reading books from feminists and brilliant minds of all ages, races, gender identities, and backgrounds. Your active participation in the Feminist Public Square is not only valued but also vital to furthering this collective goal. Together, we will connect, learn, and maybe even shed a tear or two as we navigate the realities of confronting injustice. Ultimately, we will grow to be stronger feminists and better-informed allies to marginalized identities. These page-turners will spark conversations that will embolden us to be even more impactful in this intersectional feminist fight. Your voice matters here and the Feminist Public Square is where your differing opinions and thought provoking ideas can flourish for the overall advancement towards a true feminist reality. The Feminist Public Square can be your second home so settle in and get comfortable- all are welcome. Bring your questions, thoughts, and book recommendations to this page as well. Welcome to the book club! Find more information about NOW and the work we do at now.org.

[close] NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!! We're a group building a reliable bookshelf-database of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror books that do NOT mention sexual violence or dubious sexual consent. We're inspired by Sarah Gailey's essay urging authors to "Do Better" https://www.tor.com/2016/08/22/do-better-sexual-violence-in-sff/ Join our long term project by sharing your recent reads in our monthly chat. Once a month we update the bookshelf database but recommendations are welcome everyday of the year!
