I'm really getting a lot out of reading my sociopolitical books from my #Roll100 list. It's making me feel better about the whole global situation atm, be that climate change, equality, AI, human rights, economics, or governance. There are people fighting back, educating, informing, documenting, and pushing for change. Some can be difficult reads but empowering for that. I highly recommend it.

My #HyggeHourReadathon has developed into an all afternoon, not moving from this spot. This is most definitely a 'calm and boring day'. 😊📚☕️🐈
I'm spending the day alternating between reading the tagged book and listening to #NaturaLitsy January read, What the Wild Seas Can Be. 🌊 🎧
For the actual hour, I'll be planning February's reads and journaling.
All welcome to join us.

so-soWhile I overall liked this, it was a bit too pedantic, and the all female country was a little too perfect. The practice of eugenics that led to their utopia was, although only mentioned once as history, disturbing. The narrator also views attempted rape in a “boys will be boys” manner. I loved that their society included pockets — lots of them— in the women‘s clothing, showing not much has changed since Gilman wrote this.
Well, it started snowing here, so I‘m inside with Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the lovely cup of tea my husband just made me.
so-soThis book was a quick read about feminism. I like the many personal stories and how it was more an of essay then a book. Nice little short read! Although it didn‘t really mention anything I didn‘t already know or belive.
