Our last book club read was Inside This Place, Not Of It but if you didn't get a chance to read it then just a heads up that the physical book is currently 50% off on the Verso website and the ebook is 80% off! 🥳

Celebrate Red May with 50% off ALL print books and 80% off ALL ebooks.

Are you ready for our next bookclub read? Throughout May & June we are reading our first ever romance novel.

Brining Down the Duke features a protagonist who is a suffragette so it should be an exciting combination of talking points - join the discussion: https://t.co/u4GxVIvoyn

[Dr Jean Menzies @JeansThoughts]

International Women’s Day was founded by the International Socialist Women’s Conference in 1910.

If your brand of #IWD supports organisations & systems that exploit or oppress any & all women then then you’ve missed the point.

Solidarity to everyone still fighting for better.

[#SHEvotes @SHEvotesuk]

On 12 Dec one of the least likely groups to vote is young women.

If young women were as likely to vote as the total population then a MILLION extra votes would be cast.

Help us ensure that missing million are inspired to use their voices #GE2019. Spread the word using #SHEvotes

But it wasn’t until I went to a queer photography exhibit at a well renowned gallery that I found that out - because of the diligence of curators, not the excited rumour spread as fact of the internet - the fact London doesn’t have a queer museum is a travesty

What did you think of Dead Girls by Alice Bolin?

Only a few days until we start our next book club pick When I Hit You by Meena Kandasamy - who’s joining us?

Today we are launching #EquallySafeatWork, a world-leading employer accreditation programme pilot that enables employers to advance gender equality and support employees who have experienced gender-based violence. Looking forward to working with the councils in the pilot.

@laurenthebooks I need a book trolley!

A belated Happy New Year!
You’ll have already noticed there is no book club read for jan/feb ‘19 (same as last year) but we will be announcing the rest of the year’s reading list very soon 🎉📚

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

Yes indeed to those who asked: I’m writing a sequel to The #HandmaidsTale. #TheTestaments is set 15 years after Offred’s final scene and is narrated by three female characters. It will be published in Sept 2019. More details: https://t.co/e1umh5FwpX
