Welcome back to Radfem Book Club for May, or hello if it’s your first time joining us! 📖
‼️This is a book club where we will be reading radical feminist texts. We want ANYONE to join in, regardless of the specific type of feminism they ascribe to.
people are making jokes and treating it like a public spectacle but i’m genuinely terrified for her. karen carpenter died of anorexia at ariana’s current age, while less visibly malnourished too. i hope someone in her life puts their foot down and that she recovers
Twitter is discontinuing the Communities feature at the end of this month, so Radical Feminist Book Club will be moving over to an app called Fable!
Fable is awesome because not only can you join our book club where we have spoiler-free chat rooms for each chapter, you can also start your own reading lists, track your reading goals, and import your Goodreads account.
Please join us in reading "Femininity" by Susan Brownmiller for the month of June on Fable!♀️ Link below! 📖

Birth Story and Emergence: Great interview with Cecelia Fire Thunder, the first woman to be Lakota chief (in recent history, anyway). She talks about birth customs in detail, going back and forth between Lakhota and English (which in itself is precious culture-keeping). Well worth a listen! https://t.co/DMXcaqCE3X
