Eve Was Shamed: How British Justice is Failing Women | Helena Kennedy

Both of the books closest to me didn‘t have very interesting quotes so this will have to do š† #isolationinteractions

This book sometimes feels like a bombardment of statistics & information. It‘s interesting to read but a lot to take in.

Eve Was Shamed: How British Justice is Failing Women | Helena Kennedy

Morning read before heading to IKEA for some new furniture and bits and pieces. I know some people hate going but I honestly love it š‚

TrishB I‘m definitely on the hate side...I‘ve only been 3 times and 2 of those were when the kids were going away to uni and it‘s the law to go to IKEA! 5y

Cathythoughts Lovely pic! I‘ve never been to Ikeaš¤·š¸¼ā€¨ā™€ļø¸... but I do love a bit of shopping š 5y

JennyM IKEA on a weekend ... you are a brave lady!!! š 5y

Any of these particularly of interest @veritysalter @jenniferw88 @klarusu?

Eve Was Shamed and Misogynation both non fiction, UK authors and UKcentric.

The Miniaturist - set in Amsterdam but British author (I think). It's also 424 pages but chucked it in in case the reading Europe thing trumped that.

Milkman, Irish author and Irish setting.

veritysalter I‘m happy with any of those @ElaineR I‘ve not read any of them before. 5y

jenniferw88 I'm happy with any, but Milkman and Misogynisation are appealing (I've read an essay by Bates and quite liked it!) 5y

ElaineR @jenniferw88 she's pretty good but guaranteed to fill you with rage 5y

jenniferw88 @ElaineR to be honest, my politics lean towards Labour - probably why i liked the essay! 5y

ElaineR @jenniferw88 ditto. The rage is aimrd at the sexism not her. She's fab. 5y

klarusu I haven‘t read any of them so all good for me! 5y

ElaineR @klarusu @veritysalter @jenniferw88 hey all. Have any on you read The Five (tagged...hopefully). Just picked it up and may be a good choice for this. However, may not be everyone's cup of tea obviously.

Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper

jenniferw88 @ElaineR no, but it's on the #tbr list! Would definitely make an interesting pick. 5y

veritysalter I‘ve read it, @ElaineR it‘s very good. 5y

ElaineR @klarusu @jenniferw88 @veritysalter hey folks, hope you're all keeping well and staying safe. I was supposed to start marking up my book this week (for posting at end of month) but reality is I'm very unlikely to get to it in current circumstances as work may be rather intense over next few weeks. Are people still planning on going ahead with this? If so it may be best to count me out for now :-( (edited) 5y

jenniferw88 @ElaineR I'd just done the package for you but will understand if you want to drop out. 5y

pick

This is a non fiction pick for me. An, at times blistering critique of the British judicial system and the challengers facing women to both participate and have appropriate access to it. Covers topics from women in the judiciary, domestic violence and the treatment of female victims in the courts it shows both how far we have come and yet how far there is to go. I particularly valued a chapter covering the experiences of gay and transgender women.

In pub waiting for friends getting a few looks for pulling a hardback out of my bag !

EadieB @Itchyfeetreader I carried a book with me to the polls on Election Day because I knew the lines would be long and I got some strange looks! 6y

Oryx But same people wouldn't think twice about scrolling through their phones pointlessly 6y

Itchyfeetreader @EadieB I nearly always have a paperback or my kindle with me but the hardback felt it got some unusual looks! 6y

Itchyfeetreader @oryx too true!! 6y
