This Biography would make for a great RA in the classroom. This inspirational story can teach students about women‘s rights. This book has so much history woven into the each page! Teachers can use this story as a read aloud when teaching various social studies lessons. You HAVE to read it! I would suggest UDL principle 2.1(clarify vocabulary and symbols) & ESOL strategy 5(check frequently for understanding)

DrSpalding Wouldn‘t this be a wonderful book in a social studies unit about historical figures? Even better wouldn‘t it be an excellent read aloud during a wonder women in history unit? Be sure to explain your web resources. 4y

#JumpIntoJanuary Day 5: #NationalBirdDay reminded me of this PBB of Malala. The deceptively-simple drawings, clean lines, and the splash of colours are also quite easy on the eye, as well as the text that is sparse yet powerful. This is one title that you should definitely add to your gallery of Malala‘s PBBs. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-hYc

Eggs Beautiful ❣️ I read her first book years ago but I‘m really intrigued by the lovely art here 👏🏻👏🏻 4y

#LetsTravelAugust Day 2: Fats‘ review: “Some of the notable things about Belva Lockwood that were mentioned in the book:
1. Belva enrolled herself in math, science, and politics in a university despite her father‘s disapproval. He believed that #college was only for men. Belva graduated with honors.
2. With the help of Susan B. Anthony, Belva pushed for schools in New York to teach public speaking to boys and girls.

“ Gloria Steinem‘s career-spanning collection of essays—each one a book in itself—re-imagine everything from the masculinization of wealth to Freudian thought and aging. With cool humor and rich intellect, #GloriaSteinem strips bare our social constructions of gender and race, explaining just how limiting these invented cultural identities can be...” #TBR | #Feminist | #Feminism | #EqualRights | Day 11: #TitleStartswithM - #AprilBookishMadness

March is #NationalWomensHistoryMonth. Are any of you planning to read any particular books to celebrate?? I tend to read books written by #femaleauthors anyway, but I think I‘ll throw in a #feminist book for good measure 🤗📚Any book recommendations??? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Bourriquet76 My reading habits are similar. I‘m about due for a reread of Handmaid‘s Tale. 7y
Jess7 I haven‘t read that one yet and have been wanting to for some time. Maybe we can read it together and discuss! @Bourriquet76 7y
rwmg When I reckoned it up I found that just taking books as they come my M/F ratio was about 2:1 but then last year when I made a conscious effort to give women writers priority the M/F ratio was about 1:2, so this year I'm making women writers a priority every other month. 7y

kgriffith Tag me if you share a book list, I‘m working on the LibraryThing page for March! Example: Feb‘s Black History Month page: https://librarything.libguides.com/book-lists-02-18 7y
TheResistance I've just started reading 'Notes of a Crocodile' (female original author and female translator = twice the fempowerment?). 7y
MissAimz_55 I noticed that I tend to read more women authors. I am reading Nasty Women right now (book of essays about living in a world with trump as the president). I also am going to read Pussy! A Reclamation. I have Difficult Women by Roxanne Gay and Rad American Women A-Z on my Libby shelf. 7y
MissAimz_55 I just added How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran, What She Ate by Laura Shapiro, and Almost Famous Women by Megan Mayhew Bergman to my TBR list but i don't know if I'll get to them this month. 7y

sprainedbrain I‘m reading Red Clocks (like you!) and I‘m planning to read two of the books the Reading 1001 group I participate in has chosen for Women‘s History Month: Wild Swans by Jung Chang and Lives of Girls and Women by Alice Munro. 7y
Kristelh I am hoping to read Out of Africa for #1001Diversity Challenge for Women‘s History. #Reading1001. 7y
staci.reads Fiction...Handmaid's Tale most definitely! Nonfiction...Bad Feminist by Roxanne Gay or Everyday Sexism by Laura Bates! 7y

Saudi Arabia. The only country in the world where women aren't allowed to drive. Where there is no public transport so women must rely on their partners and male family to chauffeur them, if they are granted permission in the first place. Where domestic abuse is illegal but in order to go to the police station their husband is the man they would need to ask permission from to take her there.

quietlycuriouskate Closer to home, I looked up a book on Amazon yesterday where someone concluded their review by cautioning the reader "beware, the author is a woman...". What do you make of that? I felt like I'd been slapped round the face. The assumption that only men would be reading and that a woman's writing is by default of limited interest/relevance/value to them. Again. 7y
charissharpe @River_Voice that's pretty damn sad. It demonstrates their ignorance really though. I do wonder whether some women feel that their books will be better received under a male or sexually ambiguous name which then reinforces the belief that men are better writers? JK Rowling I'm looking at you... did you know she has published 2 other books under the name Robert Galbraith? 7y
Librarianaut I agree- anyone who would say "beware...written by a woman" is just showing their ass, and how ridiculous they are. As for publishing under a pseudonym- I can see the allure, not just to avoid the unwarranted first impression that some give female authors, but also to separate your personal and (potentially very public) professional life; at least for awhile. 7y

charissharpe @Librarianaut I hadn't considered the personal life aspect. It still seems odd to me that Rowling would choose a male pseudonym to write books post HP rather than a female one? 7y
Librarianaut I think she did that to prove she could produce a book that got great reviews without her already-famous name attached to it. I remember seeing a review if the first one before she was outed- Gilbraith was called the next great mystery writer (or something like that). Also, her adult books have an extremely different tone and feel than her children's books- using a pseudonym is one way to hopefully keep them out of children's hands 7y
charissharpe @Librarianaut that's true - have you read either of them? 7y
Librarianaut I've read all three and I couldn't put them down. They are clever mysteries but also have some serious darkness in them. I don't gravitate to mystery or murder books very often but I love this series. 7y
charissharpe I think I'm going to have to give them a try! @Librarianaut 7y
Librarianaut 😍 7y
charissharpe Thank you for sharing this @zsuzsanna_reads I hadn't seen it, how powerful. Will share on Twitter x 7y

I love how her automatic is "she (or he)", when the automatic for most is the opposite. #equalrights
