Welcome to Litsy!

Yes!!

I didn‘t plan on reading this today, but I picked it off my shelf to use as a mouse pad and therefore had to start it. Good so far. The bomb is (the other half of) Lush‘s ‘Magic Rabbit‘. I used the other half a couple of weeks ago and it‘s as good as I remembered! The colours are quite different though!🐰 🐣 🥚 🐥🐑 💣 🛀 🧼 🚿 🧽

This book was a hodgepodge as far as quality; some were excellent, while I had a hard time getting meaning from others. Overall, I‘m glad I read it, so I gave it a pick.

Tonight‘s reading. I hadn‘t heard of this until someone on Litsy posted about it. 😊

I'm trying to find my 50 feminists today! #ifoughtthelaw (well, technically it's 'we fought the law'!) #AnglophileApril @Cinfhen @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi

I love this book a good old dollop of feminism.

Fifty shades and more, of woman who think, who act, who inspire - in technicolour.

Another #pupilschoice she is a member of Feminism Club and apparently knows me well.
This was an engaging read demonstrating the various shades of feminism and discusses eloquently how problematic it can be to be a women and name yourself as feminist in these modern times. The last 10 were hard hitting and it was interesting to hear from such prominent women. #feminism
It's been my go to while I've had a broken ankle #sickday

Broke my ankle last Thursday and this has been me for last 2 weeks. Litsy has stopped me going insane #joysofreading #sickday

4/5⭐️ A really good book covering fifty women's views and feels on feminism. Read in November 2016.

Excellent essays, from a diverse range of women. There is everyone from Pussy Riot to British politicians, barristers, social activists and writers. These two paragraphs are from Alice Stride's essay. The first paragraph alone has provided several hours of discussion and debate among my Year 12s. #diversebooks #teachersoflitsy

From Laurie Penny's essay 'Saudade'

From Tahmima Anam's essay "Things Your Mama Never Told You (for fear you would demand a sex change)"
