pickSoft pick. I like the way Stokowski writes, it's easy-going, a bit snarky and sometimes even funny. Even though the things she writes about are not funny. More than once I found myself in the episodes of her life she shares with us. We learn how sneaky patriarchy is in our daily life and how it claims to be the right way to live. Sadly, the author looses her wit towards the end of the book.

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia
Happy #Chatterday 🌞
It is a bloomin' gorgeous spring day. 🌞☕️🌞 I'm sitting in the garden with a coffee. And I actually feel really well today for the first time in months.
How is everyone today?

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.

Looking forward to the Dworkin reissues! (Great covers imo.) I‘ve read 2 of these 3, and had to read them as pdfs 🙃 so we‘re well overdue for the reprint.
pickYeah, I don‘t. Not anymore!
Clem is a brilliant Australian journalist, feminist and activist. I learn so much from her books and they are very amusing as well.
But the sad reality is that the people who should read these books and gain a new perspective of things never are the ones who do.

pickFrom the families of Augustus to Nero, the imperial mothers, daughters & wives led male-dominated lives & their (tragic) deaths were usually a brutal punishment. The Emperors were cruel & some seemingly depraved & yet it is the women that have come in for the worst criticism.
Overall, although it was a difficult read at times due to the subject matter (misogyny & the casual cruelties women were subjected to), (continued)
