[close] Welcome to our GoodReads page! This is simply a way to access books we are considering for our next read. Follow our Instagram to join the book club: @revolutionaryreadscollective Description: We hope to create a collaborate online space for people interested in a feminist leftist book club. Our aim is to collectively decide on a relevant book each month, and throughout the given month we can engage in activism pertaining to the determined topic or cause. At the end of the month we will host a virtual gathering to discuss the month’s book and simply connect with like minded people. We look forward to sharing this space together as we continue to learn, grow, and fight for the feminist movement.

[close] “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.� Maya Angelou I feel like I have seen through the "smoke and mirrors" of the "American Dream" since the pandemic. This group is about stepping out of our comfort zones by picking up and reading things we would not necessarily pick up on our own. This group is not about being right or wrong, its about discussing what you are learning as we go. This group is being moderated by a 44 y/o privileged white woman who now knows better and wants to do better. I am never done learning. I make mistakes. I can be wrong or misinformed, and I am always willing to discuss that.

[close] OUR SHARED SHELF IS CURRENTLY DORMANT AND NOT MANAGED BY EMMA AND HER TEAM. Dear Readers, As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode� I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week (to give everyone time to read it!). I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. Whenever possible I hope to have the author, or another prominent voice on the subject, join the conversation. If you fancy it, please join up and participate. Everyone is welcome. I would be honoured! Emma x"
