Getting ready to start this one for my #feministbookclub. I‘m interested to see if it‘s for me. Opinions seem pretty divided between love and meh. @Mitch you‘ve inspired my Bircher breakfast choice (though this was store bought not homemade). #weekendreads
pickMy favorite thing about this book is the title. I read this for Book Riot's online book club. I enjoyed the collection in general. Naturally I liked the essays about celebs I am already fond of (Serena Williams, Jennifer Weiner) more than those about people I like less. I had the feeling in some cases that the author just really wanted to write about a certain star, so she made them fit. Overall, it made me wish our society was less judgmental.
“The capacity to listen and contemplate has rendered her a formidable legislator and statesman — yet, crucially, done little to change her aptitude at campaigning.”
“I stand for girls wanting to be sexy and dance, but also having a strong sense of themselves. If you got a big ol‘ butt? Who cares? That doesn‘t mean you shouldn‘t be graduating from college.” Nikki Minaj #feministbookclub #persist
Our next books for #feministbookclub are Crash Override and Geek Feminist Revolution... Getting my feminist nerd on with some coffee this morning. Have a Kick Ass Saturday everyone!!
so-soMy irl #feministbookclub pick. A slow read that I skimmed in parts. Section 3 where Renee struggles between companionship, love, and her career in vaudeville and chance to travel was the most interesting section. Also fun to read about the vaudeville life and her partnership with Brague who acts in the show with her. Note: most of my book club liked this more than me. Honestly I think I‘ve been too tired to focus on more difficult reads.
October pick for our #feministbookclub I've been wanting to read this one for a while.
Started this yesterday. Have you read it? Do you think we have gender equality already? If not what do you think it would look like? That is what Catherine Mayer attempts to answer in this book, charging my kindle up ATM, can't wait to see what she conjures up.

Started this today, I think it's going to be a chapter at a time kind of read. Straight in at the deep end with chapter one being on #FGM. One to read bit by bit and process. When the subject matter is so outside the realms of anything you personally have encountered it is worth thinking about before reading more. Alternating with some fiction, The Essex Serpent.

About to start on this month's book for my feminist book club. Going in a total blank slate having not even read a blurb yet. Hoping it is a quick read - we meet on Tuesday! #feministbookclub
